A pissant can be defined as an insignificant, inconsequential, or contemptible person or any other thing.
Slang. Probably a mispronunciation of the word "puissant", it typically refers to someone who puts on airs or acts more lofty and noble than they actually are, and is in fact actually insignficant.
