"Tea Time" Isn't a time for snacking, it's the equivalent of "Dinner Time" in the US

Depends where in the England you’re from- a northern tea time is the evening meal, whereas a southern tea time is scones etc in the mid afternoon

It's not an hour though. I don't where they got that from. Teatime is the time that tea (the meal, not the drink) is served, whenever that may be. When I was growing up, tea meant dinner and dinner meant lunch.

Never heard a Seesaw called a 'Teeter Totter'. Must be an American thing.

I'm American and we always called it a teeter totter, so apparently you are correct.

As an American I use them interchangeably. Maybe a regional thing?

it is and it does work for sanitation worker, but would only be unsportsmanlike if you view profanity in any form as unsporting. the actual answer is literally about talking badly about the opposition so fits better.

If you're from anywhere in the UK but the South, you know "Tea Time" as when you have your 3rd meal of the day.

"Think tank" isn't really alliterative. The consonant sounds are different.

Agreed. Alliteration is typically about the sounds, not just the letter that the word starts with.

Yeah I get that it can be about the letter too, but clearly making it about sounds is more satisfying/I feel more the point of the term

What on Earth is a "teeter totter"? Never heard it in my life - it must be American.

Yes, maybe other places.

We use British terms to mitigate the rude sound of cussing, and vocabulary to flummox muggles
