pisses away

Frittering it away

To piss away something is to waste it through carelessness or poor judgment—typically money, time, or opportunity.

The image is of urinating: something valuable leaves the body as worthless liquid.

He pissed away his inheritance on gambling.

Don't piss away this chance.

Vulgar but common in casual speech.
