    I love that phrase. “Taking the piss.“ Shame it would make me stick out like crazy/sound ridiculous if I used it in the US lol

        Yeah but that’s just something I never have said so it would appear forced most likely. Like if I called an elevator a “lift” or said I was going to take “the tube.” No one says that here unless they’re from places that use those terms (nowhere in the US)

      I use it all the time and I’m Mexican American. Just own it, if anyone tries to say anything about it just hit em with the ‘are you taking the piss? Fuck off’.
