pissa

False cognate alert "pissa" looks like an English word but means something different: While 'pissa' contains the letters p-i-s-s, it is not a cognate of English 'piss' in the strict linguistic sense; rather both derive from the same vulgar Latin root, making them etymological relatives rather than Romance-to-English cognates. However, they are mutually intelligible due to shared origin.

Pissa is feminine in Spanish. The article is la, so the full form is la pissa ("urine; piss").
