Tea is slang for gossip

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?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_(minigame) I don’t know, I remembered it as coffee when I learned about it.

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.

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”.

It comes from the drag community. The “tea” is short for “truth”

We’re two of today’s ten thousand!

I haven’t heard it very frequently, but enough to know it

It’s a thing in the US for sure, though relatively recent (10-15 years?)

It started getting popular as drag slang on Ru Paul’s Drag Race
