27 3 I am an English teacher. While teaching my students l am often asked about English idioms and their etymologies and meanings. As a rule, I can find the answers to their questions. But there's an idiom which meaning, but not the etymology, l know: 'Husband's tea'. It means 'very weak tea'. At my English classes I often ask the students about their associations with this idiom. Nearly always they say, 'it's a hot, strong tea'. Does anybody know the etymology of this idiom? I would really appreciate your help. etymology idioms phrase-origin share | improve this question edited Jan 20 at 1:39
