The phrase "taking the micky" is believed to originate from the Cockney slang term "taking the mickey," which is thought to derive from the name "Mickey Bliss," a rhyming slang for "piss." It means to tease or make fun of someone. The expression likely evolved in the mid-20th century in the UK and reflects a playful or light-hearted form of mockery.
