In article <437g3v$oce@newsbf02.news.aol.com>, jzahn@aol.com (JZahn) says:

>"Pissed" in England means "drunk/intoxicated," while in America it either
>means "angry" or the past tense of a slang term for urination.

Or (mildly) drunk/intoxicated. At least, around here it's used that way,
and our vocabulary is generally the same as Americans (except we know
how to spell word like "colour" correctly.:)).
