‘Tea’ is a slang for rumors/gossip

[u/Feeling_Meet4841 → u/Grantsdale]

I hate that tea has become a name for essentially speculating about the private lives of others.

[u/Vlaxilla → u/[deleted]]

Which one tho

[u/Alternative_Court542 → u/Feeling_Meet4841]

It’s cause when you spill the tea it causes a mess

[u/OneAverageEgg → u/Grantsdale]

*used by gen Z exclusively

[u/RupertEscapeHolmes → u/Grantsdale]

Be a lot cooler if you tea bagged her/him/they/them.

Hi, Meg here.

The popular kids at school all call gossip "tea". She thinks she is being offered juicy gossip but its just regular tea

They say i'm the guest of honour at all the tea parties but i've never even been invited to one.

Strange.

[u/TipsyPhippsy]

Some people use tea to mean gossip, 'spill the tea'

So apparently tea means gossip

[u/FactsNLaughs → u/DariusDonut]

There’s no way you don’t know about the r/SipsTea sub

[u/The_Ultimate_TanMan → u/FactsNLaughs]

[u/Lkwzriqwea → u/FactsNLaughs]

It's actually got nothing to do with that sub, it's from the phrase "spill the tea" which is a recent parody of "spill the beans"

[u/FactsNLaughs → u/Lkwzriqwea]

Which is still about gossip. We’re saying the same thing. 

[u/Lkwzriqwea → u/FactsNLaughs]

r/sipstea is tea like causally drinking tea while crazy stuff is happening, it's just a coincidence that they both involve the word tea

[u/DariusDonut → u/FactsNLaughs]

I actually now that sub

[u/Plus-Artichoke6608]

Expected gossip got actual tea to drink 

[u/davideogameman]

A newer meaning for "tea" is gossip, as in "spill the tea".

[u/Several_Razzmatazz51]

I’m going to have to mute this sub because the sheer stupidity of some of these posts is depressing me.

[u/Ok_Dog_7189]

Phrase spill the tea = Gossip 

Tea = gossip

The original was suggesting the other drinks tea... The other assumed the first was gonna dish up some dirt on someone 

[u/Electronic_Tear2546]

It has been reported that tea mean gossip.

Back to you Tom.

[u/Lightning_Lance]

...Trunks?

[u/IndividualMany8432]

I bet she hasn't eaten the whole day as well!

[u/Sad_Care_977]

It's funny how gen z/gen alpha generations are so obsessed with tea

They want to spill the tea

They say some bodies are tea

They also love matcha

[u/gellshayngel]

T.E.A!

Boil it, steep it, drink it with some stew.

[u/Raj_MC]

Hope it was a piping hot one 😂😂

*about whom

The joke is she can't speak English
