Evening everyone! Hope you're enjoying the fancy New Year and Christmas holiday, although it's freezing cold outsideπŸ₯ΆπŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„ Here's an idiom:

Spill the tea (what's the tea) = to tell the latest gossips or rumors, to keep someone up to date (what's the tea=what's new)

HOW TO REMEMBERπŸ™€πŸ€”

πŸ’―Usually when people gather to drink some tea, they chat.πŸ˜‹β˜•οΈ And they chat a lotπŸ˜‰
So during this cozy little concersation gossips are flying around.
Example:
-I've been away on vacation for a couple months. Heard Jim and Clary are back together again.πŸ‘©β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨ So tell me all about it, what's the tea?
