if an english person says anything about tea/having tea/having someone round for tea

it does not mean they will literally be drinking tea

tea means dinner

we mean we are having dinner

ARE YOU SRS

YES

so then how do you invite someone for tea. with tea and scones and jam and stuff. that kind of tea. how are you supposed to phrase that?

“do you want to come over for a cuppa”

SOMEONE FINALLY DID IT

one of my favourite linguistic phenomena/in-jokes is spanish potato chips being “ham-flavored, probably”

y’see because spain and portugal are so close, labels in stuff like food, shampoo, etc often come in portuguese as well as spanish

this brand of chips, Lay’s, displays the flavor in spanish and portuguese, resulting in ham-flavored chips looking like this:

with “jamón” being spanish and “presunto” being portuguese

however, “presunto” is also a spanish adjective, meaning “presumed” (or suspected)

so you have this in-joke going where spanish chips taste like ham, presumably

It apparently won’t come into effect until like 2018 but nonetheless…

I look forward to 2018.
