I've never heard "Are you taking a piss", apart from meaning "Are you urinating?"

it's take the piss, not take a piss, lol.

definitely Scottish and English, probably Irish too. I don't think they say it out of the British isles, but I might be mistaken.

Taking the piss is a Commonwealth term meaning to take liberties at the expense of others, or to be joking, or to be unreasonable. It is often used to mean (or confused with) taking the piss out of, which is an expression meaning to mock, tease, joke, ridicule, or scoff.


Well, I'll be...

unsure if I was being clear that I meant the people of those countries say that phrase, but that's what I meant.

if you want to get into the nitty-gritty though, there's a language called Scots. read up on it in your own time if you're interested.

^ the Plains folk use "chewed out" but DO NOT assume that we talk like some Hillbillies or Southerners. The Midwest sounds like the American TV accent; that is, perfectly understandable, neutral. Probably the most neutral-sounding of all American accents.

The most neutral american accent, on the eyes of this one guy far down south beyond the equator, has to be the inner virginian one. Then the lakes people.
