cuppas
Spots of tea
Cuppas is the plural of cuppa, British and Australian slang for a cup of tea.
The word contracts "cup of" into a single cozy syllable, reflecting how central tea is to daily life in these cultures.
I've had three cuppas already this morning and it's not even ten.
Though cuppa most often means tea, it occasionally extends to coffee or other hot drinks.
