Etymology
Pissy-pants comes from the rude word piss ('to wet oneself') plus pants ('trousers'), which gives the strong image of someone so upset or scared they might 'wet their pants' and so becomes a childish insult. So, pissy-pants today is a rude, insulting word for someone who is overly sensitive, whiny, or who complains a lot.
