"Full of piss and vinegar" có từ "piss" và "vinegar" là "nước tiểu" và "giấm". Cụm từ này ý chỉ (ai đó) sôi nổi và nhiệt tình quá mức. Cụm từ sử dụng lần đầu bởi Mickey Spillane trong Death Dealers (1966): “You were young and fast and strong. Full of piss and vinegar.”

Bruce was so very witty (hóm hỉnh) and intelligent and funny and even though at the time, I was half full of piss and vinegar, like so many of the youth of the 1980s, I did attain (đạt được) a lot of good wisdom (kiến thức) from Bruce on life and especially his big love for movies.
The knight of the realm (hiệp sỹ của vương quốc) was full of piss and vinegar even though this was the 38th of 39 dates on a tour that started last September. Two hours and 45 minutes with no intermission (không gián đoạn) and he never left the stage. He didn’t even say “hi” until two songs in.
