Yes, which is why I also quoted where he reiterates what it means in the last paragraph, "poking fun at."
Do they even have culture over in your country? That's news to me.
I don't understand why you post things the way you do, unless it is to deliberately bait people. That's all. It must be your humour or something. Nothing wrong with not all of us getting each others humour all the time. You mention 'clean' thread while quoting someone talking about taking the piss and poking fun. If you don't understand why I question that, that's your issue, not mine.
I'm not getting on your tits. Just not understanding you.
I don't require further explanation. It isn't important enough to go back and forth on it. All cool. I'll not comment again on things when I don't understand.
