From context it is being used as a unit of measurement, eg ‘dollap of tea’. Has anyone else come across this or knows what it means?20 Aug 2025 11:23 +0000at://did:plc:qdap4ertwz3kjrhsgc2ctrgr/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwtctwpdhs24https://bsky.app/profile/jennyrlee.bsky.social/post/3lwbblepfos27Well, this is deeply worrying, and I can feel the same sentiment creeping in over here.
