I've never understood that expression. Does that mean you didn't like it, that you thought she was making fun of Fergie, or something else. I thought it was hysterical, although it's in an awful way.

Taking the piss = to make fun of

PS- did I answer the right question?

From 'A dictionary of Slang'.......:

take the piss: Vrb phrs.
1. To ridicule, to tease, to make fun off. Cf. 'extract the urine'.
2. To take advantage of, to exploit. E.g."Just because they like looking after their grand children, doesn't mean you can dump the kids on them every weekend whilst you go out clubbing. That's just taking the piss."

Always thought she was a class act! Brilliant

 

[Vermilion]

Watched it now - classic. Nice to see Alanis can laugh at herself as well as that stoopid stoopid song.

Just have to ask, though... did anyone else think she looked pretty damn hot done up in that way with the fringe and the high ponytail? Don;t normally go for that style, but damn!

Not sure about the fringe, but I have to say that there was some excellent work done by corsets in that video.

Ugh. I have nightmares about that hairstyle. I was a bridesmaid once, and the bride(zilla) required that we all get that hairstyle.

The video was funny though.

 

[jomar]

Fergie's a hoot.

 

[bluebell]

Wow.
So that's what Alanis has been up to.
Gotta love that cute little Canadian.

I'm glad to see that she's continued to take showers. There was that period in the nineties where she was on shower strike and went on TV to prove it.

I htought she looked pretty hot in the short jacket with the curly hair.

I'm the makeover girl in my group of friends - I do their hair and makeup for special occasions and I love making them look good... they're all prettier than me to start with and I have the discomforting feeling that I may be one of the few brides who ends up making their bridesmaids look better than she does :s

Nah, they won't have the happy bridal glow.

Elect Alanis for God. I that chick.

Great vid, Earl. I think she looks prettier when she's not all done up, but that's just me. *shrug*

 

[scriptordelecto]

LOL! That was brilliant.

Thanks, that's really helpful. I love the British dialect (my favorite shows growing up were Benny Hill, Monty Python, & Dr. Who), but don't know anyone from there so I'm pretty clueless on the slang. Just what I pick up from movies and TV.
