Q:
"i've been running 8 killometers straight and now i'm about to get a cotton mouth. can i get a waterfall?" Does this sound natural?
A:
“cottonmouth”
No, it's OK because in the context of a marathon it’s clear that you have a very dry mouth because you are running a marathon. (It's like you have a mouth full of cotton—that's what the nuance of the word is.)
Sometimes you want to avoid a word because it means something bad in another context. But sometimes the actual context means that that other bad meaning won't occur to people.
BUT if you're running a marathon and you are really thirsty and you really want a drink, it might be better to say something very clear and unambiguous like “I am really thirsty. Can I have a drink?” “Cotton mouth” isn't bad but people might not know immediately what it means. (My first thought was that it refers to a poisonous snake which has a white [“cotton-colored”] lining on the inside of its mouth.)
