Tea Bagging has been defined for anyone who watches SATC (Sex and The City)

Charlotte: Its going fine but i have a problem with his teabags  
Samantha: My advice is to breathe through your nose  
Charlotte: What do you mean, i just have a problem with him leaving his teabags all over the house  
Samantha: oh i thought you were talking about when you put a guys balls in your mouth…😛

This is a rough bit of paraphrasing from memory but it explains it
