What’s the origin of the phrase ‘Piece-of-piss’?
This is a vulgar variant of ‘piece of cake’. It is of UK origin and the first records of it are from the RAF during WWII. Eric Partridge, in his A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English_, Edition 3_, 1945, lists it like this:
“Piece of piss, a ‘piece of cake’… R.A.F.: 1940+.”
