A Post About Piss

Piss.

Piss?

Piss.

Don't run. This is not going to be a post dedicated to urine.

OK maybe a little bit. My friends and I peed in viles getting our medicals, what do you expect?! (Side note, mine is the clearest because I"m the most hydrated)

Ok, now that I've got that out of my system, THERE'S MORE. I am fascinated by how many uses the word "piss" has in this country. So here's a list of "piss" being used in a sentence (with an American translation by yours truly).

piss--noun. urine. "Look at my piss in a vile."

piss--verb. to urinate. "I had to piss terribly, and it didn't help that Bex hit every pothole between Leeds and Seamer."

pissed--adjective. drunk. "She was so pissed she doesn't remember falling off his bed." 

pissed--adjective. angry. "I was pissed when my visa took six years to get processed."

And sometimes it's fun to combine uses in one sentence. 

"I was was pissed that he got so pissed that he pissed on a tree." #English

And then with one phrase, everything gets WILD.

TAKING THE PISS

"taking the piss"--are you kidding me? What the hell does that even mean? Am I surrounded by urine-robbers?

Apparently I wasn't the only one intrigued by this phrase--it has its own Wikipedia Page

In a nutshell, there are a few ways to use it. It can mean everything from "Are you kidding me?" to gentle teasing, to fully laughing at someone. One can be taking the piss. Another can be taking the piss out of someone. For use in a sentence:

"She was taking the piss"

"He took the piss out of me!"

"Are you taking the piss?"

Say piss again. Piss. 

SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!

In conclusion, this country loves piss. And I love them for it. And just because I can, here's me waiting to get my medical exam holding my piss and riding a horse.
