Correct me if I got anything wrong, TA!
You're viewing a single thread.
Also, make sure to ask "Fancy a cup of?" with extra emphasis on "of". It is a classic British phrase

2 0 ReplyYou must be "having a laugh" as they say! I'm 1000% sure it's "cup of"
3 1 ReplyI'm sure they're both correct. Maybe it depends on where the speaker is from?
I had a friend in undergrad who was British and always phrased it like "cuppa".
"I could reeeeally go for a cuppa" she would say like every other hour.
