A Conversation for English Slang

Pissed / Pissed Off

I can't believe that 'pissed / pissed off' is missing from this article, since these words / phrases cause confusion between English & US users.

Pissed = [UK] drunk / [US] angry
Pissed Off = [UK] angry

This can lead to some very trans-atlantic conversations since drunk & angry are (often) totally different.
