If you're an American...

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

And if so, have you ever seen a teacup?

Just curious.

I'v heard of A Tempest in a Teacup , what ever that means I'm not sure .

It means the same as storm in a teacup.

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

Nope.

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

Indeed, there are too many who allow standards to slip.

I'm right there with you, ol' grey pubes.

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. :)
