In our language change class this morning, we did a bit of investigating into the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. Turns out that the term 'scandal broth' was used to refer to 'tea'. So 'spill the tea'/'spill the scandal broth' - not so new 😀? www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/5...

Really enjoyed our facial muscle class this morning, threw in a wee Blooket at the end too 🥳 #creativeHE #anatomy

The annual 'words young people know that old people don't' is here (courtesy of the #SLT2B @strath-psh.bsky.social). As now a parent of some teens, I actually knew many of these 😄.
