Today's Idiom
Take the piss
Meaning: To mock or tease.
Origin: One explanation for the origin of this slang phrase comes from the canals in Britain. Before synthetic dyes were invented, urine was collected and used in the process of fixing dye to wool to create such colours as blue. Transporting urine to wool mills wasn’t as lucrative as transporting wine, so when the boatmen were questioned what they were carrying they would lie, saying “I’m taking wine”. Anyone suspecting otherwise might ask if he was, ‘taking the piss’.
