[HPforGrownups] British slang

If you take the mickey out of someone, you are making fun of them.  As far as 
I know it is usually not done in a nasty way.  Another way of saying it is : 
Are you taking the p*ss?.  Obviously, that is less polite and you wouldn't use 
it in front of your mum.

Hope that helps.
