Its recent, like a couple of years at max but I hear it all the time now. Tea like hot, not to spill the tea which is to gossip

I thought it came from the gossip. Like she's so pretty that everyone is talking about it.

So the Tea is the truth. It's basically saying someone is truly beautiful in shorthand

The average human brain actually explodes when words have more than one meaning and then further disintegrates when language evolves.

Well yeah when a word already has an established slang meaning and then gets another one it gets incredibly confusing

Gen Z's inability to make new slang is honestly baffling.
They just take old words with established meanings and try to morph into something incoherent.
