What about these ones?



Piddle on?




Play(ing) up?






Sponge off?

Loved the joke with the meanings of housebroken.
1. Trained to have excretory habits that are appropriate for indoor living: a fully housebroken dog.
2. Trained to be docile or compliant.

Cartoons are a great way of learning colloquial expressions! Thanks, Leandro and Ana!
