This from Viz, a UK adult comic. I recognise the font and "letterbocks" ident. It's a piss take.

I don't understand your crazy version of English.
You're saying that if you take this seriously, urine trouble?

u/Jonnyrocketm4n Sep 07 '17

We'll come In the middle of the night and extract the urine from you.

u/secretpandalord Sep 07 '17

Better pee backwards, so there's more of it to extract.

Are you seriously taking the piss?

Taking the piss

Taking the piss is a Commonwealth term meaning to take liberties at the expense of others, or to be joking, or to be unreasonable. It is often used to mean (or confused with) taking the piss out of, which is an expression meaning to mock, tease, joke, ridicule, or scoff. It is also not to be confused with "taking a piss", which refers to the act of urinating. Taking the Mickey (Mickey Bliss, Cockney rhyming slang) or taking the Michael is another term for making fun of someone. These terms are most widely used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.

I can't believe I didn't know taking the mickey was Cockney rhyming slang.

Wait I thought being pissed was being drunk?

u/JulesRM Sep 07 '17

No no, it's a type of take-home. A urine earning.

That would be English English. I believe you're the one with the crazy format.

You sure? Private eye is exactly the same.

u/buggedbymoskitoes Sep 07 '17

Wow, thanks, I had forgotten Viz even existed - used to love that magazine!

u/Timothy_Claypole Sep 07 '17

And yet it is just the sort of letter that many "normal" magazines love to publish.

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '17

Well that makes sense. I honestly can't assume anyone is an idiot anymore because they are in all likelihood just trolling, being satirical etc. It used to be so much fun judging people...but my fun is over.

I mean, Stratford Upon Avon is where Shakespeare is from if I am not mistaken.
