From the Chile push pin regarding interests: taking the piss out of my wife and newspapers Any UK people care to translate that?

  "taking the piss" = "making fun of"

    I guess it could be worse if the phrase were "taking a piss on my wife"... I once had a friend from England ask me very skeptically if you could really say someone was just "fucking with you" to mean someone was just joking around. So I guess it goes both ways.

      I don't know why your friend didn't know that, but I would imagine most of us here in the UK would know what you meant by that. Not that I use it terribly often.
