I think there is another four-letter word that is even more versatile: What the hell! A hell of a good time. A hell of a thing to do. The hell you say! Give 'em hell. Hell's bells! Run like hell. Boil the hell out of it. To hell with it! Hell, I don't care. Raise hell.

Oh give me a home
where the piss-pots do roam
where urethras and bladders do spray
where often is heard
our most versatile word
and it pisses with raindrops all day

A lady walked into a bar and asked for a double-entendre. So the barman gave her one.

Keith,

Having spent a long time today working on another thread which incleded Tolpuddle and the River Piddle (where my forebears forebore).. I was pissed off when the computer got pissed on and the words pissed off...

YUP - I'll drink to Toll=pee.. and the piddling martyrs - whose blood flows thu' me veins (on the other side of the world). Best I could find on DT for the Tolpiddlers was Red Fly the Banners

All 4 now - Sam

What the fuck is that supposed to mean, Blackcatter?

(seriously, I don't get it. I would understand it with any noun except FUCK; e.g. "the fucking fucker's car is fucking fucked." But how can his fuck be fucked?)

As they say in my neighborhood: that's fucked up, man.

Piss off, pissant! You really pissed me off by getting pissed and high and driving around Piscataway while it was pissing with rain. It was piss-poor judgment. If you'd been piss-tested or breathelysed, you would have pissed away your life savings paying the fine.

He justified it by quoting God using the word.

G'day,

PISS - is the most versatile word in the English Language I reckon!

A couple of decades back I wrote a long paragraph where the word "piss" (and derivatives) never occurred more than four words apart. I may be able to reproduce it - but let's see what you Catters come up with. Here's a few clues. The paragraph covered...

1. Liquids from the weather, through alcohol imbibing to excreting.
2. Emotions from laughter to aggression.
3. Mnay US/NZ(UK) expressions were 'culturally opposite'
4. There was more... BUT...

Piss off - I'm off on the piss...

Please add your piss-useless paragraphs here..

Cheers - Sam
