" au·ber·gine /ˈōbərˌZHēn/ noun BRITISH 1. the purple egg-shaped fruit of a tropical Old World plant" [[ also, the purple color ]] to me, it does NOT rhyme (well) with " fin" , but " ok, i'll allow it" . ;) (cont.)

1- " take the Michael (out of someone) Vrb phrs. To make fun, tease, satirize. From 'take the mickey'. E.g." I dont like John, he's always taking the Michael out of me." take the mickey (out of someone) Vrb phrs. To tease, to ridicule. Also shortened to take the mick. An abbreviated form of the Cockney rhyming slang take the mickey bliss, meaning 'take the '. (cont.)
