It's usualy not a descriptor for another person, but I suppose in your case it might have been appropriate.
What'd you do?

But for the OP I wouldn't take it too seriously, it's a lighter banterish term, you usually direct at your mates.

sepi< septic tank< tank< yank< american ......really? | From Wiki - "Take the mickey" is an abbreviated form of the Cockney rhyming slang "take the mickey bliss"[6], meaning to "take the piss [out of someone]". The phrase has been noted since the 1930s.
Septic tank?, Yes I've heard it, and yes it isn't what you'd call very witty neither imo, I think it's been drunkenly derived from Sherman Tank somewhere along the line ; )

I kinda see it as a compliment. |

'Let’s get a round of Britneys in'  That's a new one on me ; )
