Usage tips
Vulgar register
'Pisse' (piss) is deliberately crude and can express disgust or strong contempt. The word is usually inappropriate in professional or polite conversations; when used to judge a drink that has been served, it can be particularly insulting.
EXAMPLE
Er nannte den Wein des Gastgebers „Pisse“ und beleidigte ihn damit.
He called the host's wine 'Pisse' (piss), thereby insulting him.
Describing smells
Typical expressions are 'nach Pisse riechen' (to smell of piss) and 'nach Pisse stinken' (to stink of piss). In these expressions, 'Pisse' appears without an article after the preposition 'nach' (of).
EXAMPLE
Im Treppenhaus roch es nach Pisse.
The stairwell smelled of piss.
Derogatory exclamations
When insulting a drink, 'Pisse' (piss) often appears in exclamations with 'so eine' (such a) or in indignant questions with 'was für eine' (what kind of). These patterns express a strong personal judgment.
EXAMPLE
So eine Pisse trinke ich bestimmt nicht!
I'm certainly not drinking such piss!
Was hast du mir denn da für eine Pisse eingeschenkt?
What kind of piss did you pour me?
