Now, Starship Troopers is one of my favourite books. It's also one of my favourtie movies, though I freely admit the movie isn't really the same story. And I think that a lot of folks have mis-interpreted Verhoeven - listening to his commentary on the movie makes it clear
he thinks that, anyway.
But before I go off on a rant here, I want to have one thing clarified. What does ""taking the piss""
mean? I've got a sort of idea, from context and Hellbalzer and such, but a lot of times slang means all sorts of things. So I want to be sure what your stance is, D., before I get rolling.
