OK, so I'm answering a post from 2005, 13 years ago, on the off chance that one of you will actually see it. Until now I thought I was the only one whose mother called it "grunting". Demographics - she was born in Virginia in 1917, her mother was from Alabama, and we lived just outside of St. Louis. She also called urinating "going wee wee".

Hello! Just catching up now, hunh? :) I'm still here. Lj-diehard, I guess.

Yeah, it seems a rarity. I've heard of only a few of us. I suppose mass media make family-anomaly euphemisms like this less likely to survive and be passed on now. BTW, in our family to urinate was to "wet"!
