whats the tea is like whats the deal, whats happening, and i know on my team if someone is talking about some drama people will say "whats the tea with you and this person." just an example(:
My older, non-cheerleader sister caught me wearing my What's the Tea? shirt tonight (Yes, I own one, and NO, I'm not trading.) and she asked me, "What does that even mean?" I explained and she says, "Ew, that's so stupid!" I replied, "It's a cheer thing."
