The only way I know to join the conversation is to catch up.

Ah! - You have already confused the Left-Pondians -
"pissed" = drunk (Scots, "pished","blootered").
"pissed as a newt" or "pissed as a parrot" = staggering drunk

American "pissed" = angry, or at least severely annoyed. Which is something entirely different! from the original English meaning of the phrase!.

As for the other, there are plenty of Scots->English translations about, e.g. http://www.firstfoot.com/dictionary/a.html

One thing i like about playing PBEM is playing against others from different countries.
But ground rules need to be carefully gone over,not as much for them, as many have a good comprehension of English and other languages.
It's me! schools in US don't press foreign languages,
I'm languagely challenged and sometimes in english.
