Expresses the exceeding size of one's library.
Books are extremely many, loaded on an oxcart the ox will sweat.
At home piled to the ridgepole of the house, from this meaning.

Tea is the water of life. I approve wholeheartedly of this thread.

I drink a lot of kinds of tea but the types I voted are the ones I drink most often. Also, white tea and oolong tea are good.
Earl Grey, hot.
Also I'm shit, I have a full Japanese-style tea set but my lazy ass always buys bags, truly the lowest lifeform.
Sorry but i thought this thread was about gossiping at first
I've been to London twice in my life and each time I came back with several years' worth of tins of loose leaf tea.
I just ran out again though. I should look into importing.
And my relatives bring me green tea from Japan and oolong tea from Taiwan; gyokuro is one of my weaknesses. In moderation because that stuff is strong and I have the constitution of a mouse.
When I went to fair Cologne I got myself this yummy from a nice little tea shop but then my parents just kept it :/ and they don't even drink it and say it tastes weird...
It's practically all I drink.
A teabag, one spoonful of sugar, a splash of milk (put in before the hot water mind you) and then drink.

I prefer Darjeeling, no milk or sugar.
I also like English Breakfast with milk and sugar.
I drink Ginger Tea for stomach problems when I have them and Iced Tea once in a while.
Spoiler:
I love going to Tearooms and having some nice Tea and Cake!
I can show you some good ones, especially back home.
Coffee?
Apple tea for me, with camomile and cinnamon.
Russian Caravan, Lapsang souchong, and copious amounts of Orange Pekoe in between.
