Tea is a social bond in Britain (and Ireland). Asking someone if they want a tea in a social setting is more about an invitation to socialise, chat, have a laugh, or discuss something more serious if that's appropriate at that point. I remember as a child disliking tea and detesting coffee (presumably because of the stronger taste), and my parents saying "You need to be able to do this, because whenever you go anywhere, in a homely or cafe setting etc, it means you can take part in things rather than sitting there like a wallflower." - Sometimes, the process of offering, making and drinking the tea can be an icebreaker and also help overcome some of the awkward pauses that might crop up in conversations particularly with people we don't know that well.
@jwb52z92 жыл бұрын
I know there are British people who know this, so I am saying this just in case for anyone who might read this and doesn't know. "Homely", with the L, in American English means an ugly person, as in they are only fit to be seen at home. American English leaves out the L, but means the same thing as the British idea.

Chick-a-block originated in the Navy in the days of sail. You know those wooden things with pulleys used to adjust the rigging? They're called blocks. When two blocks are pulled up tight against each other, they're chock-a-block. It 'escaped' into general usage as a handy metaphor.

In the U.S., "mug" was used as slang for "face" in the early to mid 20th century, so we had "ugly mug" and we still use "mug shot." It's not heard here much anymore except for mug shot. Also, "chock-a-block" was/is used in the U.S., as well. And I think, as Cherry said, many of us are familiar at this point with the slang use of "bum" for rear end.

The point about 'builders tea' is that it is usually very dark and strong. A lot of British people prefer their tea to be lighter in flavour and colour. My version of builders tea would be and Assam tea which has a lovely deep flavour and colour . Nowadays it often seems to marketed as 'English Breakfast Tea'. It is certainly true that lots of people doing hard physical work prefer this variety - usually with sugar and milk. However, do beware if you live in Europe where tea marketed as 'English Breakfast'is usually some horrible grey stuff that looks and tastes like the dirty water you just rinsed out your floor cloth in!

Chock-a-block does mean crowded, but really in the sense of meaning "absolutely crammed full". So a choka schedule doesn't mean your diary is just crowded and you can probably fit something in somewhere, it means you have absolutely no space at all to fit in any other appointments or activities. Similarly, on the tube (subway/metro) you might say the carriage was choka-a-block if you were crammed in like sardines without any space left.

For some reason there’s a trend of British people on KZbin explaining the term “Builder’s Tea” and not actually knowing what it is. Builder’s Tea is tea that’s strong/stewed because multiple teabags have been used to make it, usually so that it can provide drinks for multiple people. eg. a group of builders. Is this a generational thing? I feel like Gen Z maybe doesn’t have experience in actually making Builder’s Tea :P

There was one or two meanings for "Bum" that Cherri missed. Bum isn't neccessarily a "homeless person". A 'bum' is more so one that may (or may not) have a place to stay, but is more so known for: A) 'bumming change'/sponging off of others, or B) a person who 'doesn't work'. And not always as in 'jobless', but rather as in either: 'not working up to potential', 'not getting anywhere', 'useless', or even meaning 'lazy'. Also sometimes referring to C) slovenly/offensive dress and grooming, too much time hanging on the streets, or given to bad vices. Sometimes also refers to an unpopular sports figure. - For context, see: 1a) the way Burgess Meredith kept yelling it to Rocky, 1b) any Andy Capp weekly strip, or 2): in fan-speak, an unpopular player ("Throw that bum out of the game!”). - Has also become: 1) a word for a broken object (ex: "I've got a bum stereo!") 2) a verb ("Can I bum 50 cents off of you? I'll give it back, later...").

Builders tea is basically “I’m not fussy”. Some particularly fussy people require their tea to be very specifically made, almost requiring instructions. Telling someone you’ll have a builders tea basically means “just make it, I’ll drink it, whatever’s it like”.

Builders tea is as strong/stewed as you can make it, served in a mug. The old saying is 'it should be so strong, the spoon will stand up on its own in it!' Not, I'm not fussy, how it comes.

Builder's tea doesn't necessarily have sugar in it its just very strong.

In Australia the tea or coffee is called 'Standard'. So if you have a standard coffee it would be a milk and 2 sugar instant coffee.
Canadian here. The only one that surprised me here is "builder's brew/tea." Expressing the American/Canadian saying "I bummed a smoke" would have been interesting, I wonder what a Brit would think of that one."
