piss artist

"piss artist" means: Someone who is frequently drunk (pissed).. This is strong language and parents may reasonably want to discuss when, where and around whom it is used. It is not usually a sign of trouble on its own; many teens use such words to fit in with peers. A calm conversation about register, audience and consequences (school, work, family) tends to be more useful than a ban. Pay attention to the target of the language more than the word itself.

"piss artist" means: Someone who is frequently drunk (pissed).. Register: strong, taboo language. Avoid in writing, business, classroom and any formal setting; reserve for close friends after observing native use first. Note the regional or dialect label (Australian) — usage may sound odd outside that variety. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.
