Is that the author overusing a word though? That seems like a character overusing a phrase, possibly to show how shallow he is or something along those lines.
He mentions urination a lot. Someone wets their pants at least once in most of his books.
Also “knocked up”, which meant to go to someone’s home and knock on the door
There’s a story where Holmes says to Watson “you knocked me up”
No author has ever overused a word more than Edward Gibbon in The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. He uses the word “insensible” or “insensibly” at least every other page, and I’m not exaggerating.
