discuss.

Hmm. Pressurised. I think.

under pressure

I hate "pressurised". Why say it when pressured or even pressed will do? But I'm a Yank, so what do I know?

I think that you could be pressured into doing something you weren't keen on, and you could go underwater in a pressurised submarine

Agree with Squonka - if you are under pressure you are pressured, but if air is under pressure it is pressurised.

Pressurised is a gas under pressure. So a pressurised gas container, the sort of thing you don't puncture, or it goes off with a BANG.

I am pressurised, and may go off with a bang.

me too, thinking about it!

And my trousers. they are pressurised as well

If they had pressurised helium in them, could you float? (Upside-down, obviously)

Not enough room, Kathy, not enough room!

But an amusing thought
