In England the term pissing means to go bar hopping, which I believe is how we began to use it to mean "urinating"
Listen to the lyrics from ChumbaWambas Song 'Tubthumping' they are refering to bar hopping.
"I get knocked down
But I get up again
You’re never going to
Keep me down
Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away"
We went pissing last night and got completely wasted.
In America and Canada, usually coupled with "off", to mean extremely angry. Considered a swear word.
In the UK, Ireland, and Australia, pissed means massively drunk. Generally beyond everyday drunk, a specialist kind of drunk. Not so much a swear word.
America: "You crashed my car, man! I'm so pissed!"
UK/Ireland: "I just had 7 pints and I'm well pissed!"
Similar to bitching. Comparable to the excritment of waste.
