Today's BWOTD is a rhyming slang phrase:
"How about a rosy lea?"
'Rosy Lea' = Cup of Tea'
Like most rhyming slang this originated in London, but spread throughout the UK. It's less common to hear it these days, but I remember it being said more as a youngster.

I love reading the British Words. :)
What about a glass of Acker Bilk?
= Milk
That's a new one to me! I think I'll have a rosy Lea! *LOL*
I love a good old cup of rosy lee... my dad always calls it that!
