    Most of my friends would call it a “bickie”.
    But if he’d taken the tea, she’d have to ask if he’s a “MIF” or a “TIF”. (milk in first or tea in first.) And you think political arguments get heated.

      I’ver heard this is a big deal. The whole milk first vs. tea first. Very divided camps on this issue. Bickie? Hmmm. That’s a new one.

        It goes back to the old porcelain cups.
        Tea in first would crack a room temp cup.
        MIF saves the old expensive cups, but I digress

    Gawd blimey!!! Funny strip PJ. We speak mostly British style English with an Australian twist but as time goes by with the influence of TV shows & movies more Americanisms are creeping into our language.
