a few cites on the web, with various meanings:
========
borrow a piss-willy bit of money

Now quit being such a whiny piss-willy, and find a real cause to protest
[= pissant?   LH]

everyone's favourite elvis impersonator, Piss Willy

[plus one gratuitous reference to ex-Pres. Clinton]
=========
On the other hand, there were quite a number of hits on "piss-elm" or
"piss elm", mostly referring to botanical findings in the Midwest.
