oh yes. Then I read "pee/piss like a racehorse" in a book fairly recently and had a lightbulb moment, because I'd never heard the phrase before that so it just never occurred to me that it was a butchery/improvement of something well known.

but now when I'm desperate I always at least think "I need to pee like a racist" and it's all your fault.

You're welcome

:) I'll return the favor some day

I was gonna say, b4 reading at the link, that the phrase is often frilled with 'like a Russian racehorse'.
