Hes not wrong.
Ah, one of my grandma's fave expressions back in the sixties.
The complete phrase or just pissant?
Just piss ant lol. The phrase comes from the tiny ants that used to cover the cabinets where food was left out (not the fire ants), we hated them. Texas.
aka 'sugar ants'
It sounded like bullshit that the word had anything to do with actual ants so I just checked it, and you are indeed correct sir. Every day’s a school day on Poal!
I first heard the term pissant from The Waltons; one of the middle brothers called the youngest sister a pissant. Me and my friends thought the term was hilarious.
