Exactly the same meaning in Britain.

Another word with different meanings between N.America and here is "b*m" (insert u where applicable), over the pond it is a tramp or layabout and over here it is what you sit on, or part of lower back (side).

We Canucks used the expression "Pissed" in a number of ways...
I'm really pissed at you....(Mad)
You wouldn't get pissed with me...(Drunk)
Piss off!!!...(Check with Jif)
And a hundred other expressive ways to urinate such as ..
Pissing into the wind..(To do it wrong)
Piss up a rope....(Impossible gesture)
Ahhhhh...The English language....The flexibility of it is it's strenght...
There is more but I gotta quit and take a leak....(Lets start over with leak,and we are back where we started..)
