Tiger: "Pissed. That's where I'm at right now."**

Steve Elling on Tiger's first round WGC Accenture Match Play loss:

Asked where he was in the yearlong process of rebuilding his sliding game, Woods looked Golf Channel/NBC reporter Roger Maltbie in the eye and said, "Pissed. That's where I'm at right now."

After a back-and-forth fight with Thomas Bjorn, Woods made a clutch 8-footer on the 18th hole to extend the match, then shoved his 3-wood tee shot on the first extra hole into the desert, where his next shot failed to extricate the ball from a thorny bush. Woods eventually conceded the match on the green.

"I was trying to hit a ball in play," he said. "The fairway is what, 200 yards wide? That's very disappointing."

The three-time Accenture champion lost in the first round only once before, to Peter O'Malley, in 2002.

"I had the momentum going to the 19th hole and I blew it," Woods said dejectedly.

Now let's boil this down to the real meaning behind yet another disappointing performance in a quest to return to glory and pursue Jack's record of 18 majors: the meaning and use of the word pissed.

The Urban Dictionary reminds us that pissed in Britain means drunk. And according to Wikipedia, "The word 'piss' (usually used in the context of the phrase "pissed off") has been commonplace since the 1980s."
