25. Use Google Image Search with caution...
I first used Wikipedia, then the Urban Dictionary. For visual safety...

33. I didn't use image search, thank gods!
The mental image I got from reading the Urban Dictionary was quite enough.

Sheesh. After thirty years of being a gynecological nurse specialist, I thought I'd heard it all. Obviously I didn't give enough credit to the human imagination.

11. aaaaeeeeiiii!!!!
I didn't know what those were until now. (teabags was a new one for me this year...I guess I just hang out with the wrong crowd.)

I guess I'm just old-fashioned but those two make me want to vomit. sincerely. I think those would be grounds for divorce.

18. Loose tea.
Tea bags usually contain the swept up dust from the floor of the tea factory.

19. Ya know...I used to think nice things about you...
...I have an entire drawer in my kitchen dedicated to a great many boxes of tea, each box different because variety is truly the spice of life! Within each box, my favorite teas sit divided, cheerfully wrapped in their own convenient little teabags... Now, I have an empty place in my heart, an alarming feeling in my tummy and an empty drawer in my kitchen!

22. We will now learn three new words in Turkish ...
blump, Arabian Goggles, teabag.

That completes our cultural education for today.

Many thanks, datasuspect.

Douchebag.

31. Here at work, teabags...
Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 12:38 PM by jasonc
However, at home I use loose leaf tea that I get at one of two places, either Tea Source, or a store at the Mall of America called Teavana.

edit: I see this thread was not a legitimate tea thread. Consider my post irrelevant to the "actual" topic being discussed...
