Idiom of the Day

take the mickey | mick out of someone


Meaning: If you're taking the mickey out of someone, or taking the mick out of them, you're making fun of them or copying their behaviour for a laugh.

For example:
1. When I moved to the U.S., I upset a few people by taking the mickey out of them. They didn't understand that it was just for fun, and I wasn't being mean to them.

2. Taking the mick out of someone can help them to learn how not to take themselves too seriously.

Daily Motivator:
"Open up to the new possibilities that come with each new day, opening up to life and all it offers. Open up, and feel the joy of being splendidly alive."
