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
"spill the tea" is a known idiom.
It is?
I've heard "spill the beans", but never "spill the tea".
We're two of today's ten thousand!
I haven't heard it very frequently, but enough to know it
It comes from the drag community. The "tea" is short for "truth"
Also "dish".
