pissing off
Getting someone mad
Pissing off means annoying or angering someone: You're really pissing me off.
The phrasal verb is vulgar but common in casual speech.
To be pissed off is to be irritated or angry: She was pissed off about the delay.
In British English, pissed alone more often means drunk, so pissed off clarifies the anger sense.
