No, I'm not angry. I was just thinking about this word. Apart from Dr Grump, Roomy and me and anyone else with a UK/AUS/NZ background, I would reckon most readers would see "pissed"="angry".

Some non UK/AUS/NZers might know that "pissed"= drunk in UK/AUS/NZ.

So, I could be pissed+pissed posting here. Or I could just be pissed.

Or I could get pissed after reading a few posts.

Funny thing though, the synonym for "angry" how passed into Australian casual language. But we tend to say "pissed off" which is, I think, the usual full expression in American. Americans drop the "off" and still understand that it means "angry".

Okay, I'm going to piss off now

So if ya get "pissed," does that make you a "tosser" or a "wanker?"

An excellent question. If you get pissed and annoy everyone it makes you a wanker. If you annoy everyone without getting pissed it makes you a tosser.

Aaaaahh... now I know. Thanks diuretic.

At the last Harley dealer I worked at, we used to go around calling each other a wanker and a tosser with our best put on Irish accent...

In spite of that, I still say we don't speak 'English' in the USA, we speak 'American'...

Ax any yo posse, y'all... jus' ax 'em.

Aaaahh... I'd say that sounds more like ebonics than American Joe... just sayin'...

Mountain DAYLIGHT, to be sure, and now I have had my 3d cup. Time for some herbal tea.

It's an extreme example in a cultural transition... sad but true.

I've seen enough people for whom "Instant angry asshole - just add alcohol" is a truism, that I can appreciate the co-connotations of 'pissed' booze and 'pissed' mad...

You're right. You definitely don't speak English in America.

I love that "ax", I first heard it on a talk radio station in LA and the interviewer was putting questions to Jesse Jackson and he said, "I gotta ax you this question Rev..." I thought it was great!

 

[Diuretic]

Does anyone else see the irony in this thread?

I don't do irony, it's too subtle.

A thread called "PISSED" written by someone named "Diuretic"...

I guess you have to be in the medical field to find it funny!

Ha! I didn't even get it myself! Just goes to show, in my own mind the nick has taken on a life of its own and isn't related to the small green bottle my eyes fell on a couple of years ago when I was asked to nominate a nickname....

Makes sense...

So I supppose you could have just as easily been called "Laxative" or "Ipecac" or "Douche".

My regular joke is that I'm really glad my eyes didn't fall on a tube of Preparation-H but I'm sure others would consider Laxative, Ipecac (gag) and Douche to be entirely appropriate
