I'll copy it over too, just in case you also don't remember how to click on links, chief.
Explanation if any of our foreign cousins want it.
Tea, short for tea time.
In the South you used to (and still do) have the following three meals a day:
Breakfast, lunch, dinner.
In the North, however…
Breakfast, dinner, tea.
Both might tie the end of the day off with supper too. Brunch is for the jobless middle class and wandered into the conversation with yuppies in the 80s.
There’s also a tea break, which is usually just a cup (or mug if you are a ruffian) of tea. Not to be confused with tea time, where you might reasonably expect to eat your dinner.
Then there’s high tea, which yes, features tea. Often a pot and almost never a mug. It frequently comes with anemic sandwiches and perhaps a scone.
I hope that clears things up.
So apparently all this here isn't you explaining about the British custom of 'tea' in a top comment on a thread about 'wacky things British people say', but is actually you just explaining about the 'tea' custom of a totally unrelated and as yet un-named country?...
Seriously, chief, this one is on you. You goofed up and didn't like being corrected, so you had this little tantrum trying to 'no, you' your way into still being right. Lmao. That's pathetic.
