Her Body Tea

About

Her Body Tea or Body Tea is a slang term used to describe someone's body as attractive or hot. The term is derived from a viral video by influencer Queen Opp in which she says, "She get money, her body tea, she's super thick, she's super pretty." The video was posted in July 2023 and became the subject of lip dubs and memes on the app. Over the following months, the term "body tea" spread as a standalone slang term for describing people with hot bodies, with "she get money, her body tea," spreading as a copypasta.
