Azul Crescent’s silly scribbles

I’ll never stop being amused at the idea that “tea” is also means “gossip.”

      I think they’re trying to reference “spilling the tea” i.e. gossip. Never seen it as “having tea”, and I can see why; it’s confusing.

        You don’t have any tea to spill?

          I watch over my tea like a british colonialist. Not a drop spilled. Not even for Christmas. Damn good thrashing is what you lot deserves.

            Lol, well, I’m an American. I’ll just throw your British tea into a damn harbor, because I can’t afford your damn tea. Guess I could’ve just stolen it, on second thought, rather than… throwing it in the harbor. Shit. We really are a bunch of tea wasters. My bad.

        Yeah. If Azul would have gone for “I like knowing the ‘tea’🤫” the punch🧃 might have landed.

        In Renaissance era high society, a tea party is often the place where rumors brews. So basically, “having tea” implies discussing the latest rumors.

          The etymology is from “t”, being short for “truth”.

            Tea began to be commercially imported in Europe around the early 1600s.

        Why make a new expression when we already have “spill the beans”? Can we stop wasting so much food‽

              Oh, I see. I never watched the older ones. I’m honestly still not sure whether I like them, but I like some of their (newer) videos.

              Thanks for explaining, as well as teaching me how to correctly spell his name!

                  I was going off of the subtitles so that makes sense.

                  I bet if we keep trying we can come up with further incorrect spellings.

          I like to wear pomeranians as well. Very nice in the winter. But why multiple, is someone too fancy for the brown end?
