OT, OT, OT...
The glaring self-contradiction involved in saying you won't mention
something and then explicitly mentioning it, is probably obvious to
everybody but Kitty. ;-)
Are you really that stupid, Arny?
We call it taking the **** here in the UK or sometimes 'taking the mickey'
(micturition):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taking_the_****
What the Wiki doesn't suggest is that it is also said to originate from
sailors (or prison inmates or whatever) telling someone taking a Roll Call
that someone's away on such an errand to cover up for their unauthorised
absence. (Late back on board, in the barracks &c.)
Now, how much more OT would you like?
Shall I go on...??
