And that word is ‘pissed’ or ‘pissed off’.

Now, before I start, I want to tell you that ‘pissed’ can actually have several meanings.
4
10856
7164
00:18
But today, we're going to focus on one meaning.
5
18020
3141
00:21
And the meaning that I want to focus on is ‘angry’.
6

7

Okay, so before I explain a little bit more, let's look at these example sentences.
8
34654
7448
00:42
The first one is, “I'm pissed.”
9
42102
4032
00:46
This just means “I'm angry” “I'm upset”
10
46134
4909
00:51
So again, “I'm pissed.”
11
51043
3454
00:54
The next sentence is very similar.
12
54497
2952
00:57
“I'm pissed off.”
13
57449
2808
01:00
“I'm pissed off.”
14
60257
2326
01:02
Again, these two sentences have the same meaning.
15
62583
4689
01:07
They both mean ‘I'm very angry about something’
16
67272
4745
01:12
or ‘I'm very angry at somebody’.
17
72017
4269
01:16
Please also notice that we have to say 'pissed' in the past tense.
18
76286
6319
01:22
We have to say it with -ed.
19
82605
2883
01:25
If you say "I'm piss" without the -ed,
20
85488
3926
01:29
it actually has a different meaning.
21
89414
2775
01:32
So again, you must say “I'm pissed”
22
92189
3536
01:35
or “I'm pissed off” to show that you're angry.
23
95725

26

4190
01:47
That means I get angry when he lies to me.
27
107632
4109
01:51
Again, “I get pissed off when he lies to me.”
28
111741
5106
01:56

02:17
When someone you care about or someone you love lies to you, you get angry or pissed off, right?
36

So let's look at a few more example sentences together.
37

41
170741

02:57
“I'm pissed off that he didn't pay me back yet.”
42
177258
6246
03:03
“I'm pissed off that he didn't pay me back yet.”
43
183504
6250
03:09
Okay, so we looked at a couple example sentences,
44
189754
3389
03:13
and we learned the word ‘pissed’ or ‘pissed off’
45
193143
5017
03:18
so just remember it's a very common slang if you use it in America or another english-speaking country,
46
198160
7917
03:26
everybody will know that that means you're angry or upset.
47
206077
4517
03:30
But remember, you should probably only use this with your friends
48
210594
4207
03:34
because if you say this to somebody that you don't know well,
49
214801
4199
03:39
it can seem a little bit rude.
50
219000
2596
03:41
Okay, so please remember that when you're angry try saying ‘pissed’ or ‘pissed off’.
