January 23, 20215 yr Interesting. Here we are talking about the meaning and proper use of what, to many, is an unfamiliar expression and, then, up jumps "take the mickey". When posting in these forums it would be helpful if we all remember that this is an international audience who may not fully understand the meaning of all phrases and, therefore, have no idea what you're talking about. And I'm not hanging noodles on your ears.

January 23, 20215 yr Well, just to confuse matters further linguistically, I used taking the mickey because taking the p*** gets censored, but it is the same thing since in this context, the mickey is from the cockney rhyming slang for p***, being derived from mickey bliss, and writing taking the micturation would just make matters worse. 🤣 Edited January 23, 20215 yr by Chock Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

January 23, 20215 yr At least you don't have to drink covfefe over there any more. 🤣 Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
January 23, 20215 yr What are you smocking? Having to give up covfefe would be unpresidented. They even drink it in Thighland. (But your thought is correct and well taken 🙂 ).

January 23, 20215 yr During the Vietnam war I spent a year in Thailand. But I think we all have visited Thighland a time or two. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
