pissed

Drunk or livid

Pissed has a sharp transatlantic split.

In American English, pissed means angry: She was pissed about the parking ticket.

In British English, pissed means drunk: He got completely pissed at the pub.

Both senses can cause confusion when speakers cross the Atlantic.

Pissed off means angry in both dialects: I'm really pissed off right now.
