To dislike it when people say they are pissed (in the UK)

when they are annoyed about something.

Isn't that an Americanism? In the UK we say pissed off surely?

Or is there a regional variation that I am unaware of?

@Ponoka7 yes I did mistakenly think it was a modern Americanism but I have now been enlightened to its true origins which I've found interesting to discover

In the UK, pissed means drunk, doesn''t it?

@Toilenstripes

It’s better than the vile “fucked off” but then Brits do swear better than Americans.
I jave never heard an American say fucked off. Only Brits

Completely agree, it really pisses me OFF

It always makes me smile when my DD says she's 'watching her show' or 'watching movies' That would be tv programs and films, right? But I think it's endearing not awful
