Cuppa tea

[idontlikealdi]

Does this rub anyone else up the wrong way? I don't drink tea but I'll have 'a coffee' or 'a cup of coffee'.

Having a 'cuppa' just annoys me. Mainly from MIL who also says she has 'to go a wee'.

It's causing friction because I correct the kids, would never correct mil but obviously she sees it like I am. I just can't stand it!

I use cuppa, not very often and I don’t drink coffee so it works I guess.

I’m sure we had a cuppa/ brew thread the other day!

I think you need something stronger than tea to help you with that stick up yer arse, me love.

I dont drink tea but cuppa or brew dont offend me.

Does "going for a pint" also cause offence ?(I mean no one specifies a pint of what?)
Or even going for drinks? (Drinks of what?)

Sonetimes people ask if I want to meet for a coffee (normal times) I just say yes because it's essentially meeting for a chat and beverage of some kind. I dont drink coffee either.

It’s better than ‘brew’. It’s much better than ‘go toilet.’ (As in ‘I want to go toilet’, said by a native speaker of English.)

I say ‘cuppa’, but then I only ever drink tea, as I don’t like coffee. But it’s a very common colloquialism.

Seriously, this must be about more than just the phrases she uses for tea/coffee.

“Go a wee” 😖😖😖😖

OP, calm down n av a cuppa pet.

There are bigger problems. I never say it but am not really bothered by what other people say. Otherwise I might try into my ex,who shouted at his own mother for half an hour because she asked him if he "would like to make me a cup of tea". This was apparently unacceptable because she should have said she wanted one rather than ask if he would like to make it. Proper fucking angry with an 80 year old....

Amazing what some folks find time to be annoyed about. If you are correcting your kids in front if her then she has a very good read on what you're doing. Try taking the stick outta your arse, a cuppa might help.

Cuppa is fine.
Go a wee is really NOT fine.
My personal hatred is when people say either tuth or tuth-brush for tooth and toothbrush respectively 😫😫 Speak properly!!
