EN: tea (gossip)
Literally, it's the drink you get from a teabag. But in 2026, 'tea' is the juicy gossip, the chismis, the 'spill the tea' moment. It's what Marites lives for. 'Ano'ng tea?' is the new 'Ano'ng balita?'.
From English 'tea', influenced by international internet slang where 'T' stands for truth.
Used both for the literal drink and for the slang meaning 'gossip'. The slang usage is very common among younger generations and on social media.
