It is new, but it’s all the herbal girlie tea that has forced us to have a word which means (to me) really strong tea with not much milk and a high likelihood of sugar.

Little bags or muslin parcels on strings have forced us to these desperate measures…

Black tea = tea without milk.
White tea = poncy tea, like green tea but not.
Builder’s tea = black tea with milk.

Simples

You missed one…..

A friend of mine, an old India hand of a RE officer who is so unreconstructed that he has two dogs, Friday and Crusoe, has another tea caddy. It is labelled “Lesbian tea” and contains anything of the herbal infusion format of tea.

He has three daughters, and I had a narrow escape from marrying in to the family! Still friends, though….

Julie Andrews, Whoopi Goldberg, Mother Teresa and NATO. Only ways of describing Tea.

Politicians banging on about “hard working families”. Like they actually give a shit.

“A member of the public” doesn’t annoy me as such but always feels like a very clumsy expression.

At a bar with an espresso machine there should only be a choice of 1) espresso/cafe/cafe solo.
2) Machiato/cortado/noisette
3) Capuccino
4) cafe au lait/con leche

But they can’t offer a caffe latte ?

Why can we order coffee with hot milk in French or Spanish, but not in Italian ?

“Latte” is just a shortened version (and the same drink) as the Italian “Caffe Latte”

Other than the fact I don’t really like them, I can’t see any issue with the name at all.

Boils my piss is a twatty phrase of the highest order.

Have we had that yet?

Those suffering from a superiority complex who assume forthcoming gratitude by finishing their speech with “you’re welcome”.

And animated *** gifs.
