This week's British Slang

Blimey.....Rubbish....Dodgy. All brit words used in daily conversation. While I have now been in the UK for over 2 months, I still have trouble, OCCASIONALLY, understanding British accents or at least slang phrases.  Yesterday, I was introduced to an excellent new phrase that definitely has a meaning that I did not guess: Taking the piss. Urban Dictionary defines it as: 
Making fun of something or someone

Hey, Jim, you're fat.
No, I'm not!
Naw, you're not really fat; I was just taking the piss.

The example is really the best. May not recommend using that phrase in Alabama/Tennessee but I thought this blog post would be most helpful for Kelsey & #friemds when they come for a visit in January.
