way to go; stereotyping. Classy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's you answer! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh pleeeeez- like stereo types have no basis in fact. The only reason there is any humor in stereotyping is because it strikes a chord with the collective consciousness- dont be such a tight ass- you might as well be an Englishman. |

Just didn't want to turn this place into another 70post debate. |
||||||||

|
|
Ok in the instance I just illustrated- is it ok to be racist? I mean I'm an Irish American so I have to hate the English, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so, um, yeah, what does it mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it means you should eat another twinkie and shut up. |
||||||||
|
|

I love Americans that say they're Irish American. If I used their same far reaching genealogy I'd go round saying I was British Viking. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you are wonderfully patronizing yet I merely mention my ancestroy because my people have only been here a couple hundred years of years your ancestors were undoubtedly licking mine's boots |
||||||||

I was simly illustrating the initial question, which was "what is 'taking the piss'"? I took the piss. The piss was taken. I now have the piss. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anyway, my grandfather on my mother's side was Irish and my Dad's greatgrandfather was Irish but i still don't feel compelled to go round saying I am Anglo Irish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you are the piss! and i love you! good night |
||||||||

I think "taking the piss", translated to American, would be "are you fucking kidding me?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

To 'take the piss', is to take advantage of a situation, with the hope that no one else finds out, for your own personal gain. For example, phoning into work and saying you're ill when you are really not, to your workmates would be taking the piss, or a 'piss-take' because they have to work, and you are getting away with it. It can also be used in the context of.... Friend 1 "I went to Friend 2 "Come on now, you are taking the piss!" Friend 2 "No...for real!" ....in other words, used as a statement of disbelief (again bending the truth) |

|
It means "making fun of" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For example, me suggesting that Horsefactory's avatar suffers from Epilepsy, would be "taking the piss". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What about giving the piss a bus pass? Or moving the piss from one end of the room to the other? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So, someone who takes the piss and gets away with it on a regular basis would be a darkhorse? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought horsefactory's avatar was checking for enemies. |
||||||||
|

"I took the piss. The piss was taken. I now have the piss. " haha! =) |
||||||||
|
|

|
I have never understood the meaning of "cop out" as in "that is such a cop out" I think americans say it the most. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
umm, when you, its hard to desctibe, everybodys dooing it so you do also, its a copout cause your not making up your own mind society is shite cause of m&m or marilyn manson, its a copout cause your blaming something that isnt the main problem hope this helps mate, if i can think of something better ill let ya know |
