On Wee-Wee's

In recent remarks on healthcare reform, President Obama said,

"There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-weed up. I don't know what it is. But that's what happens."
Really? People get “wee-weed up”? What does that even mean?

When Sarah Palin says, “You betcha !”, people react either in disdain for her alleged lack of sophistication or admiration for her folksiness. Either way, everyone knows what “You betcha !” means.

When former President Bush mispronounces the word nuclear as “nucular”, a whole cottage industry was formed. Still, everyone knew what he meant.

But wee-weed up? No one knows what that means. Is it a Chicago expression? Where does this come from?

When I was growing up I was one of four girls and one boy. The boy had a wee-wee. The girls did not. That is the only reference I have.

I’m just sayin’.

Could Obama be trying to say that with government-run healthcare we’ll all be pissing in the wind? Is he saying that town hall protestors should be pissed on rather than pissed off?
