'Piss off'有两个主要用法：（1）命令某人走开（比'sod off'更粗鲁），（2）描述恼怒的状态（'that pissed me off'意为'那让我很火大'）。用于赶人时比'go away'更粗鲁，但没有f开头的词那么下流。

'Piss off' tiene dos usos principales: como orden de irse (más grosero que 'sod off') y como descripción de enfado ('that pissed me off', eso me cabreó). El uso despectivo es más grosero que 'go away' pero menos vulgar que el equivalente con la palabra f.

「Piss off」には主に2つの意味があります：（1）消えろという命令（「sod off」より失礼）、（2）イライラさせられた状態の説明（「that pissed me off＝ムカついた」）。追い払う用法は「go away」より失礼ですが、f-wordほど下品ではありません。

'Piss off'는 두 가지 주요 용법이 있다. '꺼져'라는 명령형('sod off'보다 더 무례)과 짜증을 표현하는 용법('that pissed me off')이다. 거부의 뜻으로는 '저리 가'보다 무례하지만 f-word만큼 상스럽지는 않다.
