slip someone some type of drug, but the way Ron uses
it and others, I take it has a different meaning in
the Uk, can someone help me out by explaining how they
use it in the UK???
Ali replies:-
It really means to make fun of someone. We could also say to take
the Pxss out of someone.
According to my Oxford English Dictionary, it means to
act "disrespectfully or teasingly towards" someone. The origin is
unknown.
It is used alot.
