美式:火大

adjective · B2
Angry or annoyed. It is a rude, informal word, and in American English it is a short form of 'pissed off'.
火大、很不爽(粗俗)
One way to hold this word: it is a blunt, rude label slapped on the state a person is in right now — not what they are like, but what has happened to them. The word itself does not say which state; the country the speaker is in decides that. On one side of the ocean the label lands on too much drink, on the other on too much anger.
Wiktionary gives pissed as piss plus -ed, going back to Middle English pissed. The rude verb underneath is why both meanings still feel coarse, whichever state the label names.
Wiktionary 記錄 pissed 是 piss 加 -ed 來的,可以上溯到中古英文 pissed。底下那個動詞本身就是粗話,這解釋了為什麼不管哪一個意思,這個字都不能用在正式場合。
