It's really common to use the slang “Pissed” in English. For example, “He gets pissed really fast”, “I am pissed with him” etc.

What are the common expressions equivalent of “Piss”?

"He gets pissed really fast" is ambiguous. It could mean: #1 angry; #2 drunk. "Pissed off" is less ambiguous. – Micromégas Apr 20 '12 at 17:00

There is all the range of words for "angry" that you can use, such as:

  • Être fâché / Se fâcher facilement
  • Être en colère / Se mettre en colère facilement
  • Être furieux / Se mettre en furie facilement
  • Être énervé / S'énerver facilement

If you want slang, you can use this:

  • Être en pétard / Se mettre en pétard facilement

If you're in Québec, you can also use this:

  • Être en (beau) maudit / Se mettre en maudit facilement

Bonne résponse. «S'énerver» semble assez courant pour moi, e.g. youtube.com/watch?v=tS4CS8y-WaY – Micromégas Apr 20 '12 at 17:07

Let's try to give some translations in context.

  • He gets pissed really fast, in familiar speech:

    Il en faut pas beaucoup pour le rendre furax.

  • I am pissed with him, in (common) vulgar slang:

    Il me fait chier.

    Il m'emmerde.
