FOUND by Dan J. Spinney

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Signed,
Mom
since it was Found in London, does "I'm pissed" mean that the sharpie-weilding sign defacer is rolling drunk? Or does it still mean extremely angry?
It means the sign was stuck to a urinal.
Defo means drunk. And the idea of trying to use a drunk urinal; it wobbling away from you mid-flow and then vomiting up it's contents on your shoes before telling you it loves you then falling asleep, is quite entertaining.
I don't work well when I realise I'm being used, either.
These days I try to avoid users. Codependence is for morons.
I need this on a tee shirt.
Can I print this off for use by certain of my co-workers?
And by my supervisor?

And why in the world would "I'm pissed" also mean "I'm really angry"? What could ever have been the origin of that meaning?
this would have been better if it was found down the front of Dan's pants.
That is the worst pick-up line ever!
This could apply to anything..I can imagine this posted on all sorts of gadgets/people. What about an elevator??
I too hate being manipulated for other peoples gain, and I have a poor work ethic as well - it's why I'm on Found so much during the week.
The term "Pissed" works best in instances where you are drunk and mad.
Dog breath, you're right this really needs to be on a tee shirt

As for the origin of the expression Pissed
I suspect the "drunk" meaning came first as the origin of the US slang seems to have come from World War-II. I imagine a drunk soldier might very well might get a little testy.
Brit: speaking of his friend appalling social behavior - "Sorry mate, 'e's a bit pissed"
US soldier: [thinking] - "Hmm...Outwardly hostile behavior = 'pissed'"
@ Feeling ... the evidence seems to back you up. The OED says its earliest example of "pissed" as in drunk is in an 1823 letter written by Byron.
Then its earliest example of "pissed" as in angry is from George Biddle's book "Artist at War" (New York: The Viking Press, 1944). Biddle was an American who served as a combat artist in Tunisia, Sicily, Taranto, and Italy. I would imagine he ran into a couple drunk servicemen, Brits or otherwise, here and there.
So pissed is angry, pooped is tired, and shitted is being lied to. I love our language, mostly the slang that confuses the foriegners.Think of how many ways we use f**ked.
Mama always said it's better to be pissed off than pissed ON..
