Crikey!

Posted on by KG

My first thought when I read the prompt was ‘Linda is just taking the piss out of me‘ 😉 I have recently started to hear about these slang words but this one (ta, of course) takes the biscuit.

I was about to waffle regarding Taal and how that word in Indian classical music means rhythm and all that. But now I am going to table that topic for another day. I think I have sorted out the prompt with enough British slangs and words that start with ‘ta’. So,  ta-ta for now. Catch you all later 😉

Post for this week’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “ta.” The word, “ta,” is British slang for thank you: use it this way, or find any other word that starts with those two letters. Enjoy!

    1. he he! ‘Taking the piss’ and ‘Taking the piss out of’ mean totally different thing. Wonder why. I hardly understand these slangs 😉 And I think pissed and pissed off also has different meanings 🙄

      1. Yes, well in the US, pissed and pissed off mean being angry. And taking a piss, here, means going to the bathroom to pee. It is a little coarse to use that expression for going to the bathroom. But I get the impression when I heard something like, “now don’t take the piss, ” it did not mean going to the bathroom. ‘Taking the piss out of’ means wearing you out, tiring? 🙂

        1. Yes 🙂
          With respect to pissed* : in UK, if I am not wrong, being pissed means being drunk. I remember this because I told that and the person on the other end was wondering why I got drunk during the day at work 😉
