Hmm. I obviously live in a very different society than you do, because I
don't know of anybody who'd be offended by "pissed of". There are a lot
of much worse ways of saying that that would offend people, but I don't
see this as one.

But that could be just me :-) My vote is still to keep it, but I
certainly understand that others can see it differently.
