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!"
