What does “taking the piss” mean? In American it is closest to “taking a piss”, which is a vulgar term for “to urinate”. It’s also similar to “being pissed”, which is a semi-vulgar term for “being very angry”. Neither seems quite to fit the context here.
It the UK it means “having a laugh” or “kidding” but a bit stronger.
“All cat-suits are grey in the dark.”
