British Tea Translator:
"Cup of tea?" Welcoming a guest.
"Tea?" I find this situation awkward.
"Spot of tea?" A foreign guest has activated Hyper-English, Mary Poppins mode.
"Pot of tea?" Trying to impress in-laws.
"I'll make some tea." There has been complete devastation.

1. Top-Down overload or "Reddit Hug of Death": This is what Bluesky experienced today - suddenly there was a HUGE demand surge and the servers just *couldn't* for a while. This also happens after superbowl ads or when pop stars announce tours or during DDOS attacks.
