BenRG:
True but, nonetheless, that does seem to be the origin of the word and it has been in use in my part of the UK for as long as I can remember (35+ years).

blt:
As a Canadian and exposed to a lot of regional variance through work I regularly use and hear "pissed" to mean "drunk" or to mean "angry". Determining which is which is fully context dependent...

Granted in Dora's story it would make it hard to figure out which Hanners was, but sometimes that's the way she go.

DSL:
I find context helpful.

Neko_Ali:
Well, the context is pretty clear. Hanners didn't drink. She was angry. And she was 'pissed'. Which definition of the term is pretty clear. Plus, using 'pissed' for drunk is not very common for us USA-type people.

Kugai:
At least Dora recognises the fact that it was a double standard, which speaks well of her over this. 

I would assume they eventually managed to disarm and calm Emily down.
