Word History
The Combo
tea delicioso Tealicioso
blend (or "wombo") of tea, internet slang for gossip or scandalous news (itself from the African American Vernacular English use of "T" for "truth"), and delicioso, the Spanish and Italian word for "delicious." The compound transposes the savoring of fine food onto the consumption of gossip. The terminal -oso preserves the romance-language flourish, lending the term a mock-gourmet register.
