A Nice Cup Of Tea

[Caribeing]

Just having a jovial debate, Is it a nice cup of tea or a cup of nice tea. The cup can be nice tea not etc!

Hi vivandorron you could also have the cigarette with a coffee

[Mick-Talbot]

Is it safe from Ratter and Factor here ?

[vivandorron]

I'm on red wine at the moment; what is your tipple?.

Ron.

No tea is nice, prefer coffee!

[Georgiesmum]

A nice cup of tea. yay!

[JonnyBoy12]

The first option without a doubt. I see that others agree with me on this one.

Mark Rae - could this also be considered as a transferred epithet?

The confusion here arises from the economy of the English language. In this instance cup denotes not the object but the quantity it contains, i.e. cupful. Some languages, such as Welsh, have two separate words to convey the two meanings.
