Wednesday the 26th of September, 2018
Welcome back everyone and happy Wednesday! This week, we are looking at British vs American English Vocabulary.
Today we are focusing on the colloquial word PISSED.
American definition: Angry.
Example 1: When we got in a car accident, my dad was so pissed.
Example 2: I can't believe you didn't call me on my birthday. I'm pissed.
We also use this as a phrasal verb, TO PISS (someone) OFF.
Example 3: That really pissed me off.
British definition: Drunk.
Example 4: We got so pissed last night at the party.
Example 5: You seem pretty pissed. Should we go home?
Example 6: He had two beers and he was already pissed.
We looked at this in a Daily Vitamin post from 2015. You can read that post here:
