Someone told me to spill the beans. I said "not unless you're gonna clean it up".

It’s a moot point..it’s now spill the tea

We've not heard of that one!

[@leedaluciano9806]

Spill the tea, according to the first definition published in Urban Dictionary, means “gossip or personal information belonging to someone else; the scoop; the news.” The term, in its purest form, is used for gossip and to indicate that yours is the juiciest of news.
