1. slang term for an alcoholic drinking break during
work hours, especially for workers at fairs and
festivals where the hours are long and you have to deal with people. A highly social occasion during which flasks and bottles are passed around, everyone lets off steam, and random bites and kisses are exchanged. Can degrade (or upgrade, depending how you
look at it) into a multiple-person make-out session depending on whether anyone brought drambui.
"Tea time with the ladies is at three and thirty, behind
the flower booth!"
"
Wonderful, I even
remembered my flask today. Can I bring a friend?"
"Sure, just don't bring the boss!"
