[edit] English dialects

Would speakers of non-Commonwealth English understand what the word is slang for? Andjam 13:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps not. Good point, I'll add a note. --mordemur 14:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure it's strictly Australian or Commonwealth English. "Piss weak" may be specifically Australian slang, but "piss beer" being slang for yellow, watery, bad-tasting beer is common in the United States as well. --Delirium 09:35, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hoax?

Is there any chance that this is a hoax? I mean, the ostensible Piss Beer Website, while reasonably professional looking, could have been the creation of a high school student with a little webpage experience. And the ratings sites could equally be the result of someone's prank.

I'm not saying that I think that this is a hoax, I'm just saying that it wouldn't surprise me to find out that it was. Are there any reliable, independent places that we can use to find info on this brand? Unschool (talk) 19:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
