Piss-proud- false erection- said of an old man with a young wife
pissant- word we used in Virginia. Have no idea where it came from
French for a public urinal is pissoir
LAtin pissiare- from the Vulgate- so could go back to the Roman occupation of Britain
As piss became nasty, people started just saying pee using just the first letter.
That's all I could find.
