T (also spelled tea) is the truth, and by extension the gossip that delivers it. Some say it stands for truth itself, others for the 'T' in truth. Either way, 'what's the T?' means 'what's the real story?', and 'spilling the T' means telling it, the actual situation, no sugar. It travelled from Black drag and ballroom culture into mainstream slang as 'tea', now everywhere online, but the root is this: the real, unvarnished truth.
“Sit down, because the T about what happened at that ball is wild.”
