Term I never realised was exclusively Australian:

"morning tea"


Apparently it's only ever heard of in Australia and New Zealand. (Along with "afternoon tea".)

But seriously? The Brits jolly well invented the morning tea break - do they really not use the term? *is baffled*


(For those who are sadly unfamiliar with our wonderful vernacular: morning tea involves snacks of some kind, eaten at about 10am. It doesn't necessarily involve cups of tea.)

+1 for 'tea break'. I wouldn't be surprised if people used 'morning tea' to talk about the cup of tea they have when they first wake up, in order to face the world...
