It's a human! Spears confirms birth of baby

Maybe States-side she's been deified, but elsewhere I assure you we're taking the piss. Like most of those prats (include the Beckhams, for the benefit of UK folk), it just goes to show that money doesn't improve trailer-trash.

Don't you wish.

It's booming over here.

To me it looks as if the EU economy is about to take the tumble.

What does this mean? In 'Murrica, "Taking a piss" means "urinating". There's no such thing as "taking _the_ piss", unless you're on your deathbed, and this particular dollop of urine is somehow distinguished as the only one, or something.

Thanks, Rich

That'd be "taking _a_ piss", not "the". See also "pulling the piss", "taking the Mickey", etc etc. Or describing in a less than favorable and usually comically crude fashion. I'm sure you get the drift. Which means catch on. :-)

Cheers.
