Maybe they mean a "saucer".

I am a Native English girl and teacher. I have never heard this phrase either but I would guess it means 'support'. We use a tea tray to carry many cups, dishes etc.

Hi kadertop07,

Thank you . I've just searched for it ;it seems that it doesn't belong to English language.

Hi,

where have you heard this phrase ?

This was not found in oxford, Cambridge and Collins dictionaries.

Hi seeker , I read it here in Ec . One of the members used it in his comment.

Iasked a native speaker , and he told me that he has never seen it before.

So I guess it is just a translated idiom into English.
