is a brew a cup of tea or can it be coffee too?

[emef]

i just had this petty near argument with my boss tonight at work
she asked for a brew, as far as i'm concerned a brew is a cup of tea
she wanted coffee but reckons its perfectly fine to say brew when asking for a coffee, she got a cup of tea

she said a brew can be coffee or tea
i think she's off her rocker

also... she's from dundee

[julian]

ive never considered a brew to be coffee... but then i dont drink coffee anyhow, so i wouldnt know.

brew definatly meens beer as well though, as far as im concerned

shoulda given her a special brew...

[emef]

haha i will next time ;)

[adsr]

brew = beer

coffee = java or cup of joe...

Problem solved

Does anyone else mash the tea? (ie brew it, steep it, stew it)

[bob]

its tea no questions

[kams]

correct - just tea i'd say

[Yer_Maw]

what a fucking idiot. Whether or not brew can be coffee or tea, if it can be both (which it cant) then she should be fucking asking for coffee.

[grobelaar]

Coffee is brewed. A process of mixing, steeping, soaking, or boiling a solid in water.

However, I wold say that in the UK that ‘a brew’ is slang for a cup of tea. So you’re boss is an arse.

[KuffDam]

Brew means coffee definitely.

[terminal viscosity]

if shes from dundee then she is clearly a mutant and does not deserve refreshments of any kind

[big raff]

get your boss to say " a pie, with an onion also"
its hilarious

[Sheridan]

in america brew means coffee, although it isn't used that way very often.

[terminal viscosity]

is it not "2 pies, a plain one, and one with onion also"

??

[Yer_Maw]

haha. Dundee = cant speak picks.

[isoprax]

brew means beer here. never in my life have I heard coffee or tea referred to as brew.

going out for a brew/some brews = going to the bar for a beer.

go team Canada!

haha that was my thinking, i nearly called her a teuchter but remembered she was my boss (and i wasn't sure if that term applies to people from dundee) :)

technically, no, not really, but im sure if you called her it she would be suitably surprised and offended. maybe save that one up for a special occasion

boo hoo!!!..
I'm crying in my brew!!!...

[emef]

i didn't know you drank tea

[love_tempo]

you're right, coffee is not a brew.

does you're boss ask you to do things, you do them, and then she says she asked for the exact opposite? If so, then I think that you work inside an episode of the TV series Scrubs.

[adsr]

i didn't know you drank tea

who said anything about tea??

[adsr]

but for the record yes I drink tea - or I did when I was on that side of the pond..w/ sugar and milk is nice...or atleast that's how I had it prepared for me and I drank it...

but then I spent the rest of the evening pissing every 5minutes...

[KuffDam]

there's nothing wrong of piss
