Pisser
What does “Pisser” mean in English?
It's an insult for someone you find contemptible or despicable. Although it literally means 'person who urinates,' that meaning is rarely the point when used as an insult.
Literally “person who urinates”
You might hear it used similarly to calling someone a 'dick' in English, aimed directly at someone to express disdain. It carries a moderate level of rudeness and is mostly used in casual or confrontational contexts.

The literal gloss is a short editorial translation to show word-for-word sense, not an etymological claim.
“Sounds like” is an English-friendly approximation of how the word sounds, not an authoritative pronunciation. Where shown, the romanisation is a conventional Latin-script transliteration of the original spelling.
