What does CUPPA mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
A cup of tea, or occasionally coffee; an informal British word for a hot drink shared casually with others.
Cuppa shortens the phrase cup of, and in everyday British speech it almost always means specifically a cup of tea rather than any other drink. Offering someone a cuppa is a small, friendly gesture woven deeply into British social life, often accompanying a pause in work or a chat with a visitor. The word carries a warm, relaxed, unpretentious tone quite different from the more formal phrase a cup of tea. Though tea remains the default meaning, cuppa occasionally extends informally to coffee when the context makes that clear.
How CUPPA is used
