Dennis:

I found a good definition for the term you asked about on google.com:

"'Taking a piss' means urinating; the phrase 'taking THE piss' means
subjecting someone to humiliation and ridicule."

This was from

Could you clarify your message? If this is clear in Australian, it is
not clear to me in American English.

Thanks!

I have noted in the past that some of my posts written in all
innocence have generated some very heated replies. And others have not
been of interest at all. I never know what the response will be.

It seems odd to me that since men and women both have a urine bladder,
they don't attach any importance to the frequent emptying of it, but
since men have a bladder that they don't have, which gets filled up
frequently, and needs to be emptied, Females seize on this as a great
Moral issue to attack men with.

Instead of rage and condemnation, women should cultivate a little
compassion in this manner.
