I don’t get it
Tea is slang for gossip
UK?
Surprisingly it was pretty popular as slang about 10 years ago. I remember being in high school here in the US and hearing students say “here’s the tea” when they’re about to bring up gossip
I had literally not heard this before until Hazbin
Also “dish”.
It started getting popular as drag slang on Ru Paul’s Drag Race
It’s a thing in the US for sure, though relatively recent (10-15 years?)
US
And doesn’t that imply that her offer for coffee was for sex?
Don’t mind if I do.
Wait what?? I’ve not heard this one. Is it regional?
I know it sounds silly now but this was really an actual big thing discussed in the mainstream for a hot second. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_(minigame)
Oh I thought it was going to be a reference to Eddie Izzard’s joke in Dress to Kill.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_(minigame) I don’t know, I remembered it as coffee when I learned about it.
From coffee or tea.
Oops, she spilled it!
