When something "puts you off", it is "off-putting". Is it then not logical to say, that when something "pisses you off", it is "off-pissing"?

Should that not be a term in use?
Why is it not in the dictionary?
Are there truly any actual, always applicant rules in language?
Is language in actuality nothing but a haphazard assembly of convention, exceptions and special cases, and any and all perceived “rules” nothing but the result of linguistic pareidolia?
Are we not lying to children, when we teach them these rules, that do not exist anywhere but in our collective delusions, berating and belittling them, not only when they break these rules, but also when they follow the rules in cases where an “exception” applies?
Would it not be better to just teach them all Plankalkül?
