A bit more study of the different nuances from country to country may be suggested in this case.

hehe in england it can meain either - to be pissed is to be rather drunk, but to be pissed of is to be angry

in the spirit of not derailing; i have a friend from china; she says she is from southern china; and she doesnt understand northern chinese too well; is there a difference in accent? also i know there are different chinese languages (cantonese and manderin right?) whats in use now? i never get it the right way round...
