Azul Crescent's silly scribbles
I'll never stop being amused at the idea that "tea" is also means "gossip."

I think they're trying to reference "spilling the tea" i.e. gossip. Never seen it as "having tea", and I can see why; it's confusing.
You don't have any tea to spill?
I watch over my tea like a british colonialist. Not a drop spilled. Not even for Christmas. Damn good thrashing is what you lot deserves.
Lol, well, I'm an American. I'll just throw your British tea into a damn harbor, because I can't afford your damn tea. Guess I could've just stolen it, on second thought, rather than... throwing it in the harbor. Shit. We really are a bunch of tea wasters. My bad.
Of course, this means war ol' chap. Wheres's my thrashing cane?!
It’s tough but fair.
