Dear Teachers,

1. You're pissing me off.
2. You're making me crazy.
3. You're driving me crazy.
4. You're driving me nuts.
5. You're making me mad.

- Are these the same meaning and common?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

  Stevenukd.

Hi Stevenukd

In American English, I'd say sentences 1 and 5 would be similar in meaning.  They indicate growing anger.

To me, sentences 2, 3, and 4 do not necessarily indicate anger.

I would advise you not to say or write sentence one!!! It would offend...
