Comment on Another Biscuit Island Banger
fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 11 hours agoSurprisingly, there is actually a wiki page on the matter:
Wikipedia.org - Taking the Piss
Roughly covers the following:
1
- mocking someone
- making a joke at someone’s expense
2
- saying/doing something unbelievable
- doing something unfair
- taking more than your fair share
“Are you taking the piss?” is pretty similar to “You’ve got to be joking, mate!” or “are you fucking kidding me!?!”

ok this makes sense with the loafing. Sounds like variation of taking more than your fair share but instead not doing your fair share.
