    The UK English folks *do* use "pissed off", with the same meaning as   
   yours, but without the " off" part, the difference is as I described.   
      
    This is what the Google 'AI Overview' for a "pissed in UK English"   
   search says:   
      
   "In UK English, "pissed" means very drunk. To convey the meaning of   
    being angry, British speakers say "pissed off". "   
      
    Disclaimer: English is not my native language and Google's AI might be   
   wrong.
