    Taking the piss can mean going too far with some form of poor behaviour, usually at work, eg taking a two hour lunch hour might be taking the piss, or sparking up a joint during a ciggie break.

    But it can also be in a social, non-work content: “It’s fair enough to ask for petrol money, but Bob was taking the piss when he asked for a quid a mile, the cheeky cunt.”
