Sterne also supplied ‘pi**ing’ for mingendo, though that is arguably a somewhat amplified rendering of the Latin.

A clue here for those puzzling over the word "retromingent" that's been making the rounds lately.

Susie Dent explained retromingent with a reference to, hmm, I think it was rabbits.

According to Cassell's Latin Dictionary, mingo, minxi, minctum/mictum (3rd conjugation) means "to make water."
