Wait, is "piss up a rope" really that common a phrase? My Grandmother used to alternate between "go piss up a flagpole" and "go piss on a rope and suck on the wet end" and one day she Spoonerized it and said "go piss up a rope". And we all laughed.

Learning how you are complaining about the Internet all wrong will change your life.
