"Spilling tea" is a thing now?

[sonnyjane]

More like a couple decades lol

The actual saying is spill the T..as in truth.

Yeah haha. Time flies https://www.waywordradio.org/spill-the-tea-true-origins/

I've heard that it's a security risk. May be true, but I think the timing is interesting, after the rally stunt.

I know it because of RuPaul’s Drag Race. I’m not sure if that makes me a hipster, or woke.

Remember the kerfuffle last year around the US Women's Soccer team- 'And that's the tea?'

Pretty sure you get bonus points for using kerfuffle in a sentence.

My daughter explained this to me when she was in middle school. She's in college now!

Be careful with that one. It originally meant a *****y, entitled suburban soccer mom who demanded to see the manager when the heart on her latte foam didn’t look sharp enough (or whatever other petty, first-world issue was at hand). Of late it’s morphed into something much more sinister.

My daughter (now 20) has been using it for years. That's how I know it. But as in "spill the T" not "spill the tea." T is short for truth, I believe, as a PP indicated.

I must be old, because I've never heard this expression before.
