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!"
