AIBU to be pissed off by people saying they are pissed when they are pissed off?

[falange]

I have noticed on here that increasingly people are saying they are pissed instead of pissed off. This pisses me off no end. Pissed means drunk. Pissed off means annoyed. Just wanted to get that off my chest. Doesn't really matter.

My Uncle worked in New York in the 80's. He totally confused his colleagues when he said someone had popped out the back for a fag

drdrereturns I completely agree, 'boil my piss' is a revolting expression

Gotten used to be an english word (as in english english not american english). And still is sometimes... eg ill gotten gains.

I quite like boil my piss. Along with 'I don't mean to piss on your chips..'

Duster.

I keep seeing that advert for a duster car & wondering why the hell someone thought that was a good name. Is something lost in translation?

Yes, "gotten" is an older form once used in Britain that we colonials kept. "Fall" for autumn is another one.

My DH does this. I always respond "but you don't drink you abnormal fucker darling" It is one of two annoying verbal tics he has: the other is believing that any phrase following "I miss" must be negative. He'll say "I miss not having a dog" when we don't have a dog and he means "I miss having a dog."

SinisterBumFacedCat The story is told of the Englishman who says X was my fag at Eton and the American who answers You guys sure are frank about these things!

Empress 'Duster' is (out of date) slang for a strong dust-laden whirlwind. The original car had a little tornado logo on it

Having lived in America for a long time now, I've got to the point where someone saying anything at all with a British accent sounds wrong and pretentious.

I still have an English accent and I sound pretentious to myself.

It's weird.

Thanks, AcrossthePond.

Definitely lost in translation then!

Ah fith I do the same a your "D"H sorry
