pissed
UK: pɪst | US: pɪst
adj. (informal) Angry or annoyed.
adj. (chiefly UK, informal) Drunk.
The word "pissed" derives from the verb "piss," which originated from Old French "pisser" (to urinate), likely of imitative origin. By the 19th century, "pissed" emerged in British slang to mean "drunk," likely due to the association of excessive drinking with frequent urination. In American English, "pissed" evolved to mean "angry," possibly from the idea of venting frustration (as in "pissed off"). The dual meanings highlight how vulgar slang often diverges regionally.
