One word for a tea-cup handle? - 01/10/11 09:49 AM
Dear All,
Let me be lazy and just copy-paste my letter to awad:
I was sitting in the pub with the two of my friends today and somehow we ended up discussing what is the English name for a tea/coffee cup/mug handle... Only one of us is a native English speaker (not me, I shall add) and he claimed it's simply a tea-cup handle... Having been subscribed to AWAD for the better part of the last decade I find it extremely difficult to believe there is no single word for that in English - and a more elegant one on top of that! We weren't, however, able to find one through a simple internet search.
Any chance you could shed some light on the matter?
Anyone? I'll be extremely grateful, because it's killing me not to know that
Cheers,
Rafal
