Badly need or want. Normally used with the word baytin' (beating).
I was blue mouldy for a pint of stout and when de lad with the big head knocked it over he was blue mouldy for the want of a baytin'
I was terribly parched for a pint of stout, and when that rather large-headed fellow knocked it over, he was thoroughly deserving of a sound thrashing.
