Morphology

give + me + that + pissface

The frame 'don't give me that X' (i.e. 'don't make/show that expression') is transparently compositional, but the crucial noun 'pissface' is a vulgar slang coinage combining 'piss' + 'face' to label a sulky/angry expression. Because the slangy formation and its pragmatic insultive force rely on colloquial senses (e.g. 'pissed') and are not fully predictable or standard for an average B1 learner, the item is best classified as semi-transparent.

Etymology

The expression give me that pissface comes from the rude word piss used to mean 'angry' or 'annoyed' and face for a person's look, so imagine someone making a clearly angry or sulky face. So the phrase means 'don't give me that sulky or angry look'.
