Adjective for "gotta go (to the bathroom)"?

[crazyenglish]

Is there a one-word adjective that means "having the urge to
urinate" ? When people want to go to the bathroom, they always say,
"I gotta go." There has gotta a word for it.

If there is none, may I propose "bladdery," "urine-y," "pissy," etc. ?

[Berkeley Brett]

I remember a kid in high school who used to proclaim, "I gotta drain
my vein."

But I don't think that one is likely for inclusion in Fowler's Modern
English Usage....

This threadlet has drifted from the original question about an adjective
for "gotta go (to the bathroom)" or, as the Dictionary of Slang of the
UK puts it, "desperately needing to urinate".
http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/b.htm

Franzi has suggested "bursting". I have also heard "busting" which was
short for "busting for a pee". "Bursting" is the more literal. I assume
"busting" is a variation of it.

That's the one!
On the other topic, I once read the account of a Dutchman, I think it
might have been Robert van Gulik, the author of the Judge Dee
mysteries, of a formal dinner he attended with a group of proper
Englishmen. At a late stage, one of the p E. rose, declaring that he
had to "pump ship". Perhaps the ladies had already withdrawn; I don't
recall.
"How delightful," the Dutchman thought, "These English are not nearly
as stuffy as I had expected," and rose in his turn, announcing that he
had to pump shit. The rest of the evening was stuffier than he had
expected.

The gerund "needing" was the standard Glasgow
vernacular used by 5-to-10-year-olds, c.1950.
e.g. "Mum, I'm needing."

A long time back when I was in college in India we used to say "feel
leaky". Presumably, from "taking a leak". But if I heard it now it
would sound very strange.
