Lup said it in a message but we didn't know... someone suggested it might have something to do with tea and I thought it made sense because she's a great cook.

I can't believe I'm the one teaching people about slang.

[she's from ancient fantasy korea cut her some slack]
I guess slang like that is more common where you come from.

It is, though it's more the kind of thing my sons say. The slang I use is a bit different.

Well for one, people my age will say 'here's the lowdown'. That means they're about to share some information.

You know, I don't actually know. It's just one of those things that we always said.
Here's another one: 'fake me out'. It means to be tricked.

That makes sense. Because if you're getting tricked, something is fake.

Yeah, it kinda does, doesn't it?
What's funny is, a lot of the slang we used when I was a kid, I still hear people use nowadays too. Some things stuck around, others didn't.

'Hairy eyeball' didn't, which is a shame because it's a great saying.

Well, I would say "Bucky is giving me a hairy eyeball", and it means he's giving me a mean look, like he's mad at me or something.
