Pissa

Cool. Often paired with wicked, although considered obsolete by some.

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.

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."

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."

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!"

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.

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.

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.

The first time I heard the term was in 1955:

"So the nurse chokes, right? and [he] puts his towel ovah a bonah, and he walks back in line like nothin's happ'nin'."

"Wicked pissah!"

As I remember the use of the term, it rather required an element of surprise or impropriety or in any event something unexpected. If you said, "The fried clams were wicked pissah," it would mean that you might expect that out of The Clam Shack but not out of Kelley's Landing.

It's not likely that many men in Boston didn't understand the term by WWI at least. It certainly wasn't a neologism, because old men of the day actually used it themselves. Females did't use it. In Boston, men piss, women pee.

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.

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.
