      English language comment, I not native tho. Shouldn’t it be to take “a” piss?

      Doesn’t “take the piss” mean “to get repromended/roasted”?

        Take a piss: urinate

        Take the piss: make fun of

        same as:

        Shit: bad

        The Shit: good

        and:

        bollocks: bad

        dog’s bollocks: good
