Australian. I've heard it since I was a kid. No offence intended to those who haven't heard it at all. It's so familiar to me that there's no thinking twice about it's use in a blog title. I'm also sure there are more cultural phrases and terminologies that I'm not familiar with than the number I am familiar with, but the usage of them on the internet wouldn't offend me or make me feel like I was on the outer. Piss weak essentially means you didn't even try, you gave up before you'd even given yourself a chance to actually fail. Commonly used in the sporting arena, but also applies to children's (or childish) efforts at various things that children often don't like to properly try at. |

This reminds me of a classic Mad TV sketch: Parody of Al Jazeera, Death to America
All writing is in some form writing for _some_ audience, or an “auditor”.
However you choose to speak with your friends, the use of profanity—is ‘piss’ profane? I’d say it’s a subset whose parent term is the male/female organ—is controversial in writing. Profanity is by definition offensive, and that excludes people.
I believe we all should consider our words more carefully, and also be able to call a ‘spade’ a spade when it’s a shovel.
