If I were to say to you "let us get afternoon tea?" what would you think I meant by that? Er, I mean to say 'what do you think afternoon tea is, practically speaking' not 'what do you think this means about my relationship with you'. English, the language of unclearness.

Isn't afternoon tea something only posh people do anyway? I just eat when I'm hungry and don't call it anything other than food :)
