I feel like a cup of tea.
I feel like a cup of tea.
---------------
Does the sentence above express a real feeling or is feel used as a sort of a dummy verb with no inherent meaning of to feel in it?
Top answer
This "feel like" is an idiomatic combination. It does express a real feeling -- a wish or desire for something -- but of course, as I expect you know, it has a different meaning from something like "I feel like a complete idiot".
