I am mildly opposed to the twee in most forms; saying “wee” instead of “piss” is definitely a symptom of tweeness.

(I do like “Gadzooks” as a corruption of “God’s Hooks”, and use it whenever I have an opportunity.)

Preferable (as being less obviously infantilised) to wee, and definitely to wee-wee, but piss is better. I don’t enthuse about widdle either. Or piddle. Or pee-pee. And as for tinkle… give me strength!

Do fish pass urine?

Yes, kidney filtration just as in mammals. (The kidneys also do most of the hard work of maintaining a salinity gradient between the inside of the fish and the surrounding water.)

Yes; they have particularly nifty dual-mode kidneys. (Your freshwater fish gains water by osmosis and pumps it out via the kidneys; your saltwater fish loses it by osmosis, so the kidneys cycle water back into the system.)

Well if we’re being picky the fish is unlikely to be standing at all, being a bit lacking in the leg & foot department.
