mo tea mo tea mo tea

Mo tea is short for mo tea sir. This phrase started as far back as prior to the Civil War Era when African Americans primarily worked as servants. When they asked their male employers and guests if they would like to have any more tea , it came out sounding like mo tea or mo tea suh. Present day it is used as a racially insensitive reference.
