When you need to be polite saying that - we sometimes use "Extracting the Michael" ..... or "Taking the Mickey".

I never noticed that before.
If the memorable part of the chorus was "reach out" instead of "I'll be there"...
...it would be all over the place and absolutely maddening.

I think it was meant to be
"leaving a piss"
You don't take it with you.
You leave it where it lands.
We use "Taking the piss" for a situation where someone might be taking way too long to do a job as an example.....
"C'mon mate, you're taking the piss filing that piece of steel with a worn out toothbrush!"

Me either on that phrase, I’ve ALWAYS said ‘no, thank you’ not sure if thrown out but what really gripes me is when the waitress comes back around finally and says “you good” instead of asking if I need anything. Yea I’m ‘good’ but I want more water! Hate that! Then why in hell do I have to give them a tip of 20% they DON’T work for me?

some people need a nap or a beer or both
the only phase I find annoying but could still give 2 craps about is "it is what it is"

When I do a job for someone, and they ask if I will take cash.
Sure, I'll take cash. It's the same price still....including the tax. I have to pay the tax, so don't expect me to knock it off just because you are paying in cash.
In fact, I have now decided that if people want to try and pay cash after the job is finished, the price goes up by 20%.
I have to pay to put cash in the bank and takes time - which costs money.
Over here it's usually Chinese or Indians looking for a deal on paying with cash. I try not to work for either. Might sound racist, but I've been burnt before by them.

Don't know if it's been mentioned here previously, but... this comment, in ANY of it's variations, is annoying. "I'm gonna chill." Chill what ? My freakin' beer ? Are you going into a meat locker to cool off ? "I'm just chillin' " Well, then put on a damn jacket or coat ! 
Nope. I use cash....but for my convenience when machines break down. Pay for ice-cream and stuff with cash.

I use cash anytime I go to a restaurant.....they seem to be the ones that scam credit cards the most. Usually buy my ice cream from grocery stores.
I like cash...not opposed to it - just that I object to people expecting a huge discount for paying for my services in cash.
Besides, our Invoices are linked to our Certificates for electrical work - and the IRD (IRS) has access to our tax records, as well as our certificates.
You can see where an audit could easily show any discrepancy.

Cash is KING here.
Several businesses have two pricing schedules and cash is always the lower price. Dealing face to face with people, cash is the most convenient and impossible to track.
It is nobody’s business what I bought or how much money that I got when I sold something.
Cash for labor is excellent. The government doesn’t deserve a cut since they didn’t do the work, I did.

What's cask?
Don't get me wrong...I agree with you.... but our Tax Collectors have a different set of views on the subject.
The Govt here spent millions on a new set of software with algorithms that go searching for exactly those deals. They would rather spend money on software to catch 'honest' people making a little extra, than cutting benefits from no-good downright lazy bums on welfare as a career.....but I don't want this to turn political.
Well spotted.What's cask?
