DH has been havng a problem with "one of his women in the US".
He used the expression "Are you extracting the Michael?", which I'm not
surprised she didn't understand. He explained it was a variation of "Taking
the Micky.", but she still didn't understand. So he further explained that
it was making fun of someone. She says she's not aware of any US equivalent.
I'm sure there must be one.
She did wonder if it might be the same as "dumping on me", but that would be
our "landing me in the sh**."
