Must admit, I *was* starting to wonder if I should take the hint when you said "Of course, I could also tell someone to piss off, which would mean that I find their company tiresome." hehe. We too, use the term "pissed off", "piss off" etc in Oz, but rarely is it shortened to just "pissed", which is kind of ironic really considering how famous Aussies are for shortening almost every common phrase that they use. eg afternoon/arvo, sandwich/sanga, spaghetti bolognaise/spag bog. etc... Oh, and then there are peoples names - such as Caroline, Darren, Barry, Russell, Sharon, Kerry, Gary, Larry, Murray, Geraldine (my best friend's name), who in the traditional Aussie way, are generally shortened to result in "Cazza, Dazza, Bazza, Rusty, Shazza, Kezza, Gaza, Lazza, Muzza and Gezza"... lol... try saying that quickly after a few New Year's Eve drinks... tan. (who is dying to hear Cotty's "comeback" on Bill's use of the term "poking around" in reference to him viewing my website)...
