What does TO A TEE mean?
TO A TEE (idiom): exactly or perfectly; done just right. Example: “The instructions fit the course to a tee, and every golfer found the next hole.”
Similar: perfectly, exactly, precisely, spot on. Opposite: imperfectly, roughly, approximately.
Did you know? The punchline plays on golf's tee and the idiom "to a tee," meaning something that matches perfectly, just like instructions that fit the next hole.
The everyday phrase behind TO A TEE
TO A TEE most often follows verbs like fit, suit and describe: 'That jacket suits you to a tee', or 'Her impression captured him to a tee.' You'll also see it spelled to a T, and both are accepted; to a tea is a common slip. Nobody knows for certain what the T first stood for, but the most widely accepted theory points to the older expression to a tittle, a tittle being the small dot over an i, so the phrase meant down to the smallest detail. Either way, it always means exactly right, never approximately.
How TO A TEE fits the puzzle
"To a tee" means precisely or exactly right. The cartoon jokes that golfers follow instructions to the tee, the peg the ball sits on. The idiom may actually come from the older "to a T" rather than golf, which makes the twist even neater.
The circled letters were pulled from BERET, AWAKE, ENTIRE and NONFAT.
