What do you think these ladies are whispering about?
In Victorian England, the invention of Afternoon Tea created a social setting where women often gossiped, which led to the slang term "tea" being associated with gossip and "spilling the tea" meaning to share gossip. This association is rooted in the idea of the tea-table as a place for social interaction and the spreading of news and rumors.
