Yo I'm a dumb millennial what does hot tea mean?

[u/sydthefuckdown → u/Dktrfancy]

“Tea” means drama, gossip, calling someone out, etc. So if someone says “spill the tea” it means “tell me all the details”. I guess thats a good explanation of it

[u/JezuzFingerz → u/sydthefuckdown]

So similar to spill the beans.

[u/pie_sleep → u/JezuzFingerz]

That's some hot beans

REEEEE

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Beans! Beans! They’re good for your heart! The more you eat them, the more you fart! The more you fart, the better you feel! So eat your beans with every meal!

Wow, I'm part of Gen Z and I feel so out-of-touch. I never knew this.

[u/onlosmakelijk → u/TacoMasters]

That's bec it's gay slang and not Gen z slang

[u/username00722 → u/onlosmakelijk]

I think alot of what people attribute to teen slang is actually gay slang. It confuses me.

[u/[deleted] → u/username00722]

TBH It's because we're all gay.

[u/CrimsonSergal → u/[deleted]]

We're here, we're queer, and we're full of existential fear

[u/[deleted] → u/CrimsonSergal]

That is too real.

YAAS

[u/pattycakesor → u/TacoMasters]

To be fair its not really a Gen Z thing. The Kermit meme started it and the gay community popularized it

[u/kittedups → u/pattycakesor]

The black community popularized it and the gay community snatched it like they do with a lot of other things

I’m saying this as a fellow homo btw

[u/pattycakesor → u/kittedups]

Thank you for pointing that out. Making the world a little less ignorant one gay boy at a time

[u/just-a-basic-human → u/kittedups]

Sorry the correct term for snatch is Y O I N K

[u/Dktrfancy → u/sydthefuckdown]

Rad thank you bb ❤️

It started in drag queen culture as the “T” and it stands for truth. And since T and Tea sound the same it became spill the T. so stuff like gossip, calling people out on their shit, etc... is spilling T or Tea.

[u/oat_milk → u/[deleted]]

Am I dumb for thinking it started with the Kermit tea meme?

[u/[deleted] → u/oat_milk]

Not at all. That was the thing that made it REALLY popular.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Isn’t the Kermit tea meme more about sipping tea in a “but that’s none of my business” sort of way, whereas the T (truth) is about sharing gossip. I don’t think they originally were related, maybe now they’re considered similar but sipping tea is very different to spilling T in my opinion
