generally irish expression with the implications:
1) to joke with someone, to say something without intending it.
2) (similarly), to lie in an obvious manner.

2) e.g “the driver told the police that he was sober, they said “you’re taking the p-ss” and arrested him.
making fun of something or someone
hey, jim, you’re fat.
no, i’m not!
naw, you’re not really fat; i was just taking the p-ss.
1) to do/say something without intent
2) to do/say something for the h-ll of it
3) joking
is lola being serious or is she just taking the p-ss?
joking around.
“hey bill, youre a f-cking d-ck eater”
“what?”
“dont worry mate, im justt taking the p-ss”
to appear serious, but actually meaning the opposite – most of the time. usually followed up by the ‘p-ss taker’ (the one who joked) revealing he/she was only joking.
‘hey did i ever tell you you’re f-cking pug ugly?’
‘no you didn’t and that hurt’
‘i’m only taking the p-ss. you f-cking filthy mongoloid.’
making fun of someone – without hurtful intentions.
my american fiance doesn’t understand “taking the p-ss”, so she took my p-ss taking seriously and now i’m in the dog house! 🙁
making fun of someone, without intending to cause serious offence. also known as ‘pulling the p-ss’.
ted: you suck at life.
jimmy: screw you!
ted: relax, i was just taking the p-ss.
to make someone who’s trying to seem important less important. derives from the p-ss-b-n-r men wake up with in the morning, it’s a fake b-n-r. if you took the p-ss away, there would be no b-n-r. do you see?
that’s the original meaning, however taking the p-ss now means just giving someone a ribbing and in the most part not meaning to be malicious.
original meaning:
guy 1: “hey guys, what do you think to my awesome new haircut?”
guy 2: “i think you look like a f-cking pr-ck, mate…you look like a real slob”.
other guys: “haha, guy 2 really took the p-ss out of guy 1!”
meaning as it is now:
guy 1: “man, i only got a 45 on my last -ssignment”
guy 2: “haha that’s f-cking sh-t!”
guy 1: “don’t be so mean”
guy 2: “cheer up man, i was only taking the p-ss”
