UK?
Surprisingly it was pretty popular as slang about 10 years ago. I remember being in high school here in the US and hearing students say "here's the tea" when they're about to bring up gossip
I had literally not heard this before until Hazbin
"spill the tea" is a known idiom.
It is?
I've heard "spill the beans", but never "spill the tea".
We're two of today's ten thousand!
I haven't heard it very frequently, but enough to know it
It comes from the drag community. The "tea" is short for "truth"
Also "dish".
UK here, no.
It started getting popular as drag slang on Ru Paul's Drag Race
It's a thing in the US for sure, though relatively recent (10-15 years?)
