Well mine goes to the day I was brought from the baby hospital; when my grandgrandad saw me, he said "That's hell of a pišišvor". [pesheshwor] In Czech that means something small, cute and naughty. The short form from it is Pišíš and since in English there ain't no hooks [ˇ] nor lines [´], it's Pisis. It doesn't have to do anything with pissing nor the zodiac sign Pisces, properly it should be read as [Pesheesh] but I'm used to the English version yet.
