minus-squarefatalicus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoI this case it is a wordplay on the fact that young people these days call gossip “tea”.
minus-squaretarknassus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 days agoI feel old. Never heard of gossip being referred to as tea.
minus-squareVelypso@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoIt’s a relatively old term in the south that is now being used in the mainstream. If your aunt told you she had tea for you, you at rapt attention, cuz there was about to be some good fuckin shit.
minus-squarerumschlumpel@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoWould being served a beverage at your aunt’s not also be a given, though?
minus-squareThis is fine🔥🐶☕🔥@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoWhenever I see ‘tea’ in this context, I imagine upper class women at their afternoon parties talking shit about women who are not there. Oh, men gossip too but for them it would be ‘smoke’. Yes, I am probably influenced by Mad Men.
