English Idiom: I'm totally pissed

[Mishy]

What do you mean by "I'm totally pissed"

[Yankee]

Hi mishy

If you hear this sentence in the US, it would mean "I'm extremely angry".

However, I believe it would mean "I'm extremely drunk" in the UK.

I use it both ways. Often.

Hi,Amy
Too funny! I see , two different meanings.
I asked those words expressing the "drunk" meaning, "pissed" (the Miss Dictionary says: Brit sl, negative) , its idiom is like: "be as pissed as a newt", meaning "very drunk"
Do you know other idioms with the similar meanings???
Thanks,

Do you mean idioms meaning drunk, FangFang?
Words and expressions such as drunk as a skunk? Three sheets to the wind? Plastered? Sh*tfaced? Bombed? Tipsy? "Serfectly pober"?

(We may have to rely on "frequent users" for additional ideas.... )

While considering the adverse influence of Japan on my emotional and physical equilibrium, it occurred to me that 'pissed' can refer to either anger or intoxication, but 'pissed off' can only refer to the former.

Is that really an "idiom"? I thought it was just some inappropriate language. Oh well.

Idiomatic because the basic meaning of the word is 'urinate', cooliegirly. Not inappropriate among the boys at a bar; but vulgar and therefore inappropriate in polite company.
