Can you think of a way to replace "high time" in the sentence, "It's high time I took a shower"? [closed]

"High time" is too formal for the voice I'm using in this work.


It's about time (idiom)

Informal —Used to say often in an annoyed way that something should have happened sooner

It's about time you got here. I've been waiting for over an hour!

"They're getting married." "Well, it's about time! m-w


If you want to go colloquial, perhaps "I really need a shower" would do the trick.
