tea bag

Dunked leaf packet

A tea bag is a small porous pouch containing tea leaves, designed to steep in hot water.

The bag allows brewing without loose leaves and easy removal.

To tea bag someone, in vulgar slang, is to lower one's scrotum onto their face—a gesture of dominance or humiliation, especially in video game culture after defeating an opponent.
