I'll take your piss out!

A few days ago I was watching reply videos on youtube. An American girl made a video called "emo/scene kids suck" and one of the replys was from a British girl who asked why she was taking their piss out. I had no idea what that meant... I'm assuming that it means to talk bad about someone.

What are some other slang words and terms that the British use?

I imagine it was "Stop taking the piss outta them" ?

It's just more british slang, a more agressive way of telling a person to stop being mean to people.

There are soooooo many Scottish ones but they are only really understood in Scotland, a couple of examples being:

Hud yer weesht ~ Be quiet

Awa an bile yer heid ~ Get lost / Go away

Scunnered ~ Disgusted (but can also just mean bored or fed up)

Regular ones, that I can think of include:

Come a cropper ~ If something didn't end well

Banjoed ~ Drunk

Chips with everything ~ Monotony / boring

Daft as a brush ~ Stupid

Answers on a Postcard ~ Let me know your thoughts / ideas

Keep your hair on ~ Calm down

Keep your pecker up ~ Keep smiling

There are loads more, I just can't think of them just now ;)

I always thought this meant to go to the toilet.

Seems to refer to going somewhere that you don't want to discuss, often the toilet/bathroom.

The use of the word "piss" is a weird one.

Pissed = angry in the US

Pissed = drunk in the UK (pissed as a newt)

Pissed off = annoyed in the UK

Take the piss = make fun of in the UK

"Piss off" = go away

Pissing down = raining

Many different uses for one word. Slang is strange, urbandictionary.com can be very useful.

'Forget happiness I'm fine, I'll forget everything in time'

    • https://youtu.be/A_Cycjg5_9A?si=NiLTFeiTNWBExFoR   As barmy as Sam Ryder has now gone, as shown in this video. I'd still rather it than that bland Olly Alexander record. 
    • I like Scott, and I listen to Rylan's show every week... they do sound great together on Eurovision etc but.. as for a daily show together, I don't think it would work. Rylan would probably have to reign it in a bit which would lose his appeal, otherwise it may become too chaotic, in my opinion. That Saturday slot is perfect for Rylan, his rapport with Sally Traffic and Lottie is great. I suppose it comes down to cost as well and if he would want a daily show?   Radio 2 are clearly happy with Scott's show, and considering he's just won Best Entertainment Show at the ARIA's, I can't see them changing much.  
    • A win for Scott which is fantastic after the last few years he's been through! 
    • Am I outnumbered for not wanting to work in radio? It feels like there's a lot of geeks that want a job in the industry here.
    • Thought Sam and Danni were robbed of an award.  
    • OJ Borg is in for Trevor Nelson on the Rhythm Nation tonight (with Phill Williams on overnight). He's also in for Michael Ball for the next two Sundays (12th and 19th May). Ros Atkins (BBC's Analysis editior) is in for Jeremy Vine on Thursday. Another new name to Radio 2 is Oliver Hides from BBC Radio Wales. He sat in for Owain Wynn Evans yesterday and he's in again this Thursday (9th May) and Bank Holiday Monday (27th) Spoony in for Scott Mills from Tuesday 28th till Friday 31st May.  
    • Thought they would make it easier to get to this event. There's been no communication from the council or organisers about travel, even though there's talk of train strikes. Smaller councils have done a better job. 
    • They do sound good together, but I'm not sure Rylan will want the extra commitments. 
    • I have accepted Chris is unlikely to join Scott's show, and that Chappers has moved on, but I still think he could do with a co-host. The most logical solution, I think, is Rylan. He appears more often on his show than not, and they are great together. Radio 2 could lose Rylan's Saturday show and extend his reach by appearing during the week. I think they'd be great!
    • Tattoo took a while to grow on me. I couldn't see the fuss until weeks after. We have a split household here where the war on Gaza is overshadowing an enjoyment. I'm hoping for a protest of some sort. 
    • I've heard that the staging is very impressive.  That and him being "known" might prevent an embarrassing result.  I'm a terrible judge of Eurovision though as Tattoo is still so very meh to me.
    • Feels like after the success of Sam Ryder we are going back to our old ways. Olly Alexander's song is pretty weak. Anyone fancy our chances this year? 
    • The more time goes on the more you think if they'd actually put some thought into it it should've been Vick & Katie from the start. A proven pairing and Katie ended up on the show anyway - whereas Katie's even mentioned she was only asked to join after the Jamie announcement And even by Going Home standards on time off, it's quite funny that a few months in we still haven't had a full week of the supposed line-up - and that's with a 4-day week.
