pissing on the world

English term or phrase: pissing on the world
A friend of mine used to use a Latin phrase for 'pissing on the world', and I recall it used the verb micturire and had a "terr..." cognate in it as well. But I obviously don't know Latin well enough to figure out the exact, correct phrase. My friend passed away, so I can't call and ask him. :( Any ideas?
