- tea-water59%
A Scottish dialectal expression for tea itself, or the water used to make tea. The first sense -- tea as 'tea-water' -- is a colloquial synecdoche, naming the drink after one of its components. The term is informal and distinctly regional. Outside Scotland it would not be understood as a natural way to refer to tea, making it an immediately localizing piece of vocabulary.
- tea-water59%
A Scottish colloquial term for tea — simple, direct, and very Scottish. Where the English might just say 'a cup of tea', the Scots sometimes reach for 'tea-water', treating the drink as a straightforward compound. It also literally refers to the water used for brewing tea, but in Scottish informal usage, it's just another way of saying you're putting the kettle on.
