Noddy is the hero of a series of children's books first published in the fifties. He and his great friend Big Ears go round having adventures and are unfailingly polite, pleasant and helpful to everybody they meet. "Piss off Noddy" is the punchline of a long joke which I first heard in the seventies, and still gets a laugh from anybody who knows the original joke. Well, it made me laugh anyway.
Also, I understand that 'skip' translates to 'dumpster' in the American tongue, so whereas we go skip dipping, you folks go dumpster diving.

It was a glorious day in Toytown and Big Ears decided to go and meet his best friend Noddy. The sun was shining and the birds whistled merrily in the trees. Big Ears was excited, after all he hadn't seen his best friend Noddy for a whole week! That was much too long for Big Ears.
Big Ears made himself a lovely breakfast - muffins and pancakes. Yummy, yummy! He read his newspaper and then set off to Noddy's house in the middle of Toytown. Walking out of his front gate he bumped into Mr. Postman.
"Hello Mr. Postman," said Big Ears, "I'm off to meet my very best friend Noddy on this glorious day."
"Hello Big Ears," said Mr. Postman, "I'm sure you'll have a lovely time. You and Noddy are such good friends. Everybody knows that."
Big Ears walked jauntily along the road, smelling the flowers in the hedgerows and whistling a merry tune. Soon he came across Mr. Baker.
"Hello Mr. Baker," said Big Ears, "I'm off to meet my very best friend Noddy on this glorious day."
"Hello Big Ears," said Mr. Baker, "That's great news. You and Noddy are such good friends. Have a good day."
"I will!" beamed Big Ears, ever more excited about meeting Noddy, his bestest, BESTEST friend in the whole world.
As he walked Big Ears remembered all of the great times Noddy and he had together. There was the time they took the train to the beach and ate ice cream - that was lovely. Or the time the sweetie-van overturned in the street and all the little kiddies gorged themsleves on licqorice drops and bubbly gum. Super times!
Big Ears rounded the last corner into Noddy's street and he could now see Noddy's house up ahead. "This is SO exciting," he said to himself, "I'm going to meet Noddy my best friend in the world and we are going to have such fun together!"
He opened the gate at the end of Noddy's path and ran up the path to the door, hardly able to contain his excitement. This was going to be a great day - maybe even the greatest day of all! He knocked on the door and waited, a huge smile on his face. Inside he heard noises - Noddy was coming to the door!!
The door opened and there was Noddy, Big Ears's best friend in the whole wide world with whom he had shared so many great adventures. Big Ears was shaking with excitement.
"Hello Noddy," he beamed, "It's me, Big Ears, your bestest friend in the whole world. I haven't seen you in for a week!! Let's go out together and have a great adventure in Toytown!"
Noddy looked at Big Ears - "Piss off you twat"
