Depends. In Australia we use it in many ways:

Heavy rain - "It's pissing down out there"

Waste of effort/overly optimistic - "You're pissing in the wind"

Flattery - "You're pissing in my pocket"

Enebriation - "You're pissed as a parrot"

A discussion of who is better at something, or also a battle of egos, or a drinking competition - "A pissing contest"

Anger - "He was really pissed about it"

Hmmmm....I could go on for a while. I'd never really thought of how popular and versatile it is in Australia!

Cheers
