In these videos we will

teach you important slang and idioms we think you should know and use.

But what is slang?

Slang are informal words that are only spoken with friends.

For example, "yo yo yo what's up".

I would probably not say that at an interview, but I might say that with friends.

Next we have idioms. And idioms are a little more confusing.

But why?

Well idioms usually mean one thing but say another.

For example, "he's under the weather."

We're not really talking about under the weather.

And we're not really talking about weather.

It means that he's not feeling well.

So you can see how it's a little more confusing.

But we have some great teachers here who will help make it more simple for you.

There's no time to waste.

Let's watch these videos and I hope you enjoy the slang idiom series.

Hi everybody. I'm Esther.

And in this video we're going to talk about a slang word.

And that word is 'pissed' or 'pissed off'.

Now before I start I want to tell you that pissed can actually have several meanings.

But today we're going to focus on one meaning

and the meaning that I want to focus on is angry.

okay?

So pissed or pissed off can mean very angry

or maybe upset or annoyed.

okay

So before I explain a little bit more, let's look at these example sentences.

The first one is 'I'm pissed'.

This just means I'm angry, I'm upset.

So again, 'I'm pissed'.

The next sentence is very similar 'I'm pissed off'.

I'm pissed off.

Again these two sentences have the same meaning.

They both mean I'm very angry about something.

Or I'm very angry at somebody.

Please also notice that we have to say pissed in the past tense.

We have to say it with -ed.

if you say I'm pissed, with the -ed, it actually has a different meaning

So again you must say I'm pissed or I'm pissed off to show that you're angry.

okay

Here's the last sentence.

I get pissed off when he lies to me.

That means I get angry when he lies to me.

Again, I get pissed off when he lies to me.

Let's make sure we also notice the pronunciation - pissed off.

pissed

pissed off

pissed

And let's look at the example sentence one more time.

I get pissed off when he lies to me.

And for all the women out there you understand what I mean, right?

When someone you care about or someone you love lies to you

you get angry or pissed off right?

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

I was pissed off when the other car cut in front of me.

I was pissed off when the other car cut in front of me.

Don't get pissed off it was a mistake.

Don't get pissed off it was a mistake.

I'm pissed off that he didn't pay me back yet.

I'm pissed off that he didn't pay me back yet.

Okay so we looked at a couple example sentences.

And we learned the word pissed or pissed off.

So just remember it's a very common slang if you use it in America or another

english-speaking country.

Everybody will know that that means you're angry or upset.

But remember, you should probably only use this with your friends because

if you say this to somebody that you don't know well, it can seem a little bit rude.

Okay, so please remember that when you're angry try saying pissed or pissed off.

I'm pissed. I'm pissed off.

All right well I'll see you in the next video. Bye.
