Do you ever use the phrase "storm in a teacup"?

And if so, have you ever seen a teacup?

Just curious.

It means the same as storm in a teacup.

I'm disappointed with you, Peat. You, an underling of the British Empire :no:

Thanks for emboldening the "pot" I would have read it as teacup otherwise.

I refuse to live a graceless existence.

We have this in common, I think. :)

What a love-in.

Cheers for answers guys, I think I actually prefer tempest in a teapot (I'm a sucker for alliteration). Though that would presumably be a slightly larger storm than one contained in a cup.

It also has the advantage of book-end "T"s, which adds snob-appeal. :)
