Read the excerpt from “A Century Ride.” “I’m choking with thirst,” said Maude. “Get me a drink of water, and I’ll tell you,” and the Doctor bounced in for a dipper, and out to the pump for the required beverage. To update this excerpt to a more modern style, what slang would most likely replace “choking with thirst”?

"I'm choking with thirst" and "Get me a drink of water" both tell you that Maude is thirsty.

Thus:

"I am thirsty"
