This place is so "pissful"

One day I was kayaking with my friends, and in the middle of the bay we stopped. Then I said: 

- This place is so calm and "pissful"! 

They started laughing and said:

- What? The kayak is full of piss? haha

- I said, no! I didn't say piss, I said peace! (but I sounded like piss again!)

Then, they explained it to me. I pronounced the word peaceful to sound like pissful, a word that does not even exist.
