Uhhh... I still don't get it.
Taking the michael? Having a giraffe? Never heard those phrases before

The Americans have much classier sayings that express things that are so much more profound... such as:

Flogging the dolphin
Spanking the monkey
Choking the chicken
Beating the one-eyed trouser snake
Polishing the bishop

;D

these are all slang for w@nking... another word americans don't use! I believe you call it 'jerking off'

Jerking off, beating off... I believe these are the most common ones, although if you called an American a wanker, he'd know that it's not a compliment for sure! ;D

So still dont get it, to what point did SF become a hierarchy who could take the piss asking reasonable questions, but seemingly already knew the answers???

[thwaites]

i might have known the conversation would turn to a discussion of pissing on people, men!

[corblimeylimey]

"take the mick/mickey/michael -- vb. British -- to mock, deride, poke fun at. These expressions are milder versions of 'take the piss.' Unbeknownst to most users, they employ rhyming slang: Mickey is short for a mythical 'Mickey Bliss,' providing the rhyme for 'piss.' 'Michael' is a humorous variant. The phrases, like their more vulgar counterpart, have been in use since the 1940s."

'Taking the mickey' and 'taking the piss' out of someone are often used here in Ireland. They can have slightly different meanings, though.

'I knew he was only taking the mickey outa me, so I bought him pint and we had a laugh.'

'He was taking the piss outa me so I floored him!'

Its hard to explain. When you take the piss out of someone you are either mocking them or using them.

Yeah i smell a piss take too, but thought it was all a little tongue in cheek and the hostility seemed a little un-called for FPR, im sure it wasnt though mate just me being naieve! oh well!

There are some fairly caustic twisted Silky haters out there. Silky fan was just a character someone was hoping to use to constantly take the piss out of silky. Go through the posts. They were dark.

Johnas I'm still respecting ya for going to see the Ruts mate

I've seen the RUTS, got photos of them somewhere. They were local boys. Richmond Upon Thames, my drinking grounds in the punk days. Actually just been up into the loft (to see what I can flog next to buy prints) and found all the early Sniffin Glues! Some of them worth £500 apparently.

AgentB' have you come across Jaya King's work over your side of the pond?

I hear edutainment-style classical music in the background.

Thanks, professor CBL! ;D

A great band and Malcolm Owen was a real character. Sniffin Glue. Wow, that was a real punk initiative. What was the kids name who started it. Something Perry wasn't it?

i'm in the same sort of boat... got quite a few valuable punk records but no record player. I can't bring myself to sell 'em though for sentimental reasons

Yeah, love the abstract work on her site. Lazy sod won't reply to emails though, so I wondered if it was because she's too big to reply to people, or just down to lazyness and apathy. Have a look at the Phoenix picture on her site. Knocks spots off Guy Dennings work IMHO

Oh yeah, that's an awesome one!
I love the carnival ones too, especially mack the knife. Disturbing in a mesmerizing way!

I think she's just being lazy by not returning emails. Kinda foolish

What does Corblimey mean anyway? Is it an exclamation? Say, if you hit your thumb with a hammer, do you yell "CORBLIMEY!"?

I guess it means 'i'm shocked' or 'would you believe it'.

Cor blimey

Meaning

An exclamation of surprise.

Origin

A euphemism (specifically a minced oath) derived from 'God blind me'.

[Ågent ßacardi]

Ahhh, so it's like "f**k me!" Thanks FPR & CBL!

This has been such an educational day for me! ;D

He he. Yes thats it precisely. Its a polite version of 'f**k me'. Often done in the early stages of haggling for something or hearing about the next door neighbour getting up the duff. ;D

[beyond]

Does anyone else get the feeling that AB is taking the piss?

[pkt75]

not that alot of you will care for my opinion, Ill say anyway.
On readin this thread, i saw nothin dark, malitious or 'piss take' about Silky fans posts.
Wot i saw was one of you decide (as per usual on this site) that you hear somthin you dont like, throw up ur defences and everyone else who is despeate to belong, follows. There is alot of the 'every single day i must post something' members of this site that think they have the right to direct the way they feel a thread should be directed, dispite other members feelings, thoughts and opinions. If there was a piss take to be had, then we have all seen the pics from 'found' posted. Now there was a piss take or two to be had there and I aint talkin about the art.
Get off ur high horses guys, jus cos we dont lick ur arses, it dont mean our interest in art is lesser than urs. you all know who you are.
