Meanings and origins
Posted by Phillippa Grace on October 15, 2001
I am looking for the meanings and/or origins of the following:
Tea for two and two for tea
A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
A tempest in a teapot
As useless as a chocolate teapot
Born with a silver spoon in his mouth
Fit to a T
Not for all the tea in China
Not my cup of tea
Suits you down to a tee
The cup that cheers
There's many a slip twixt cup and lip
Wake up and smell the coffee
It's not worth crying over spilt milk
