diurese this

I noticed two recent hits on this blog from people looking for the same topic. I mean exactly the same. Both were referred from Google searches for what the lay person's term for diuretic is. Two different IP addresses even. How odd. I find myself wondering if someone referred to a diuretic in a House rerun or something.

Anyhow, since two hits count as a significant portion of the site's traffic, and since I'm a sucker for language, I'm giving my vote on this one. I'm going with "water pill". It's delightfully old fashioned, isn't it? Sort of like "the vapors".
