I don't think she means Earl Grey

Well, to help alleviate Nich's boredom... I've got a story.

My boss is easily amused and has no shame.
And the server was down at work and he came to sit next to me and talk for minute. We started talking about slang and he told me he saw a woman driving the other day with a license plate that said "teabag" and he wondered what it meant.
Loudly.
In our very open newsroom.
Among curious journalists who all eavesdrop (it's practically part of the job description...but I digress)

"Maybe she's from England. Or maybe she just really likes tea," he wondered while I giggled to myself and turnred a few shades of red.
I said, "No, I doubt it. It's a euphemism."
"What does it mean?"

I wasn't about to tell him out loud what it meant. So, we looked it up on the urban dictionary and once he read what it meant, he laughed and laughed.
And then because he's gay he said, "Well, that doesn't sound so bad..."

I believe the wikipedia site does a much better job of explaining, along with giving examples from movies and video games.

Nich, you really do have a lot of time on your hands.
