taking the piss

Making fun of something or someone



taking the piss
Making fun of someone - without hurtful intentions.
Example:
My American fiance doesn't understand "taking the piss", so she took my piss taking seriously and now I'm in the dog house! :(


taking the piss
It's now often used when people take liberties and don't care about the consequences, for instance someone living in a nice house and trashing it or ridings roughshod over neighbours, knowing he won't get evicted by the authorities.
Example:
Now he's taking the piss. He had his music cranked up again last night and parks in our parking space.


taking the piss
To appear serious, but actually meaning the opposite - most of the time. Usually followed up by the 'piss taker' (the one who joked) revealing he/she was only joking.
Example:
'Hey did I ever tell you you're fucking pug ugly?'

'No you didn't and that hurt'

'I'm only taking the piss. You fucking filthy mongoloid.'


taking the piss
Generally Irish expression with the implications:
