English term (edited): weak black liquor and thin black liquor
Selected

both the same

IMHO because both appear to be names for the by-product pressed out when making paper from recycled paper or newsprint
Peer comment(s):

agree Will Matter : Yes. The meanings overlap. "Thin' tea is 'weak' tea. High percentage of solvent to solute. Dilute solution of whatever. You got it.

I don't think so because...

thin would really be quite runny but weak would have a lower alcohol content.

Is is Guinness?
