I haven't heard it in ages. Probably a pommie term that my relatives brought with them. :-\

Yeah, I remember hearing it in English comedy tv shows......BUT IT IS NOT AN AUSSIE WORD.....(Jess)
The English Dictionary says it means "alcoholic".....for that, us Aussies say....piss head, or piss pot
Because we refer to alcohol as piss.....if someone is going out to drink they say Im gonna get on the piss
And if they get drunk, we say he's pissed as a parrot

I would say that's a pretty accurate observation.Whatever I answer is the polar opposite to the correct one !!!
In England friends would ask me when I was taking my holiday, as that would be the 2 weeks when England would have glorious sunshine, and the south of France or Italy would have seasonally unusual, rain, snow, etc.
I would come home a whiter shade of pale, to be met by all these sun bronzed friends !!!
