Request for a bit of etymological help -- taking the pïss on 16:51 - Aug 30 with 5024 viewsDavillin Thanks, Mo_Wives. I'm glad I saw from the first URL that you were taking the piss, and moved on to the second one without a snappy response. To show my gratitude, I have bookmarked the link to wordpress.com for future references. Aside: to those who thought this thread was a pisstake, I can assure you that I'm not the only poster on here who does etymological research on occasion [former Professor of English at work here].

Aye, knew that one. My favorite is Harris. Rhyming slang for rhyming slang. Harris (Aristotle) - Bottle (Bottle and Glass) - Arse. I've re ad that you can go one further and use April (April in Paris) but I've never seen or heard it used. Bottle only seems to be used in "lose your bottle" nowadays.
