re: Pissa
Pissa=pissed off. i.e. "I got in late last night and my mom was wicked pissa."
re: Pissa
When someone explains something is pissa, it is usually a bad thing, as in sarcasm. For example when I was working at Dunkin Donuts as a kid and someone asked, " I need foah lahge regulah coffees, and three dozen donuts", we always said, "Oh, Pissa!"Although, when something is wicked pissa, it is usually a good thing. I can't recall hearing someone say wicked pissa in a negative fashion."Did you go to the Aerosmith consit?", "Yeah-r-I did! It was wicked pissa!"Of course there can be exceptions, but Boston sarchasm comes across pretty strong.
re: Pissa
Pissa can also be used to describe someone who is giving you a hard time. For example: "You know Timmy, you're a real pissa." Also in more working class bars in Boston it can be used as another name for the bathroom. "Hey Murph, watch my beer I got to go the pissa."
re: Pissa

re: Pissa
Hey pissah has two meanings it can be good as in "O man you got Halo that's wicked pissah" or it can be negative as in "Damn I just stepped in dog shit that's just pissah."
re: Pissa
Pissa is one of those words that has a variety of meanings though I believe that the primary meaning is positive, which is how I always use it.Some examples:"Hey, is that your new guitah? Pissa.""Hey, you chicks wanna go out with me and my buddy here? Pissa."Hey, how's that new album? I heard it was f***ing pissa.""And you're bringing it to the party? Wicked pissa, man."
re: Pissa
In the movie Airplane! you can actually hear the original expression that pissa came from when Robert Hays is upset and says, "What a pisser!"
re: Pissa
The term 'pissa' predates Airplane by years, if not a decade or more. The fully etymology probably traces back to some of the townies in the colonial era.
re: Pissa
The meaning of Pissa is found in how you say it, sometimes good sometimes bad.There are also 3 levels of "pissa"1. Pissa2. Wicked Pissa3. Wicked Fucking Pissa
re: Pissa
When you drop a pot of badadas you may say "ahhhhh pissa!"Or if you shart you might shake out the poop and say "awwwwwww pissa I just took a shitta!"
re: Pissa
Pissa meant "cool" or "great" in parts of Boston. That is slang from 35 years ago. No one uses the word anymore. Only older folks vaguely remember what it means.
re: Pissa
My friends and I always used pissa as a noun referring to a negative situation. As in "I had to wait 45 minutes at the doctor's office. It was a wicked pissa!" In the same context you could say "wicked f***in pissa" and it would mean the same thing.
re: Pissa
Pissa can mean something good or something bad it just depends on what context you use it in, and your voice inflection.He’s a pissaGood-Said with a smile when talking about a friend who did something funny or crazy.Bad- When said with anger because a guy went back on his word or did something out of line
"my mom was wicked pissa"?!?!?
Ya confusin "pissa" with "pissed," you retahd. If you came in late ya mom would be pissed... mostly because huh wicked losah kid is still livin at home.
Having grown up in
Having grown up in Boston,this expression was never in my vernacular. Your mom would be pissed. If she was pissa she would be cool.
1972 pissa
I distinctly remember the older brother of a friend G. Connelly, exclaiming pissa on a side street in Quincy 1972. Thus, way before Airplane. It was vaguely obscene. Not the f-bomb, by any means. Nor did it carry the power of any of the b-words, but it was strong slang nevertheless and not for public consumption in my house.
By way of meaning, pissa always express approval. We never said 'wicked pissa.' That sounds like Cliff in Cheers, like someone trying to sound too Boston. Or maybe that's just the way it was in Quincy where understatement was stronger than anything over the top.
