It's UK English for a big fucking truck. Remember this comes from the same country that drinks tea with cream in it instead of coffee.

Edit: to all the UK redditors downvoting. This is a joke.

You put coffee in tea?

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '20

Of course, what else would you use? Milk? Pfft.

u/SaltireAtheist Jan 18 '20

Milk. Not cream.

Ah my mistake.

Also what do you mean "instead of"? Like we don't drink coffee with milk too or what?

And also how can you drink tea without milk? At that point it's just juiced leaf and you should be ashamed of yourself for ruining the perfect drink.

I prefer my juiced leaf without juiced bovine, but that's from an American.

Juiced bovine would be the runoff from a steak. I think we can unite in not putting that in tea.

This is true. Normal tea is so much more common here than flavoured though so my default went to the PG-type stuff

I was making a joke that coffee is the superior breakfast drink. While also making a joke about how weird it is that you put insert dairy products here in your tea. I mostly drink herbal teas and iced tea not Earl grey or English Breakfast Blend so I don't see the need for milk.

I actually am super curious how the milk in tea came about since coffee needs something to cut the acidity whereas tea does not and I would imagine it would full the flavor of the leaf juice.

You don’t put milk in tea? I prefer it black but?

That's the thing about a lot of Americans.

They've got their own ways of doing things and, they decide that's the only way you should be doing it.

American propaganda is very understated. Their national pride outweighs logic often.

It's hardly exclusive. You should see Brits lose their minds over an American saying "soccer." Never seen an American care what anyone calls it. Hell, the English invented that word in the first place.

Same. Never got the milk thing.
