  • "Piss off" can mean "Go away!"
  • To 'piss someone off' is to make him angry.
  • To 'piss something away' is to use it up without having anything to show for it.

I'm pissed means "I'm drunk" in British English and "I'm annoyed" in American English. This was commented on in a South Park episode in which an Englishman says:

Leave it to Americans to think that "no" means yes, "pissed" means angry, and "curse word" means something other than a word that's cursed!!
