Does anyone know the origin of the term 'cup of Joe'? I've heard it a couple of times but always forget.

Maybe I can help explain it<br /><br />3,7-Dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione<br /><br />There feel better now. <br /><br />Bob

Re: NoelMG...I give up.

"Cuppajoe" comes from WWII.<br /><br />Coffee has been called "java" for a long time. I guess Java was a major supplier at one time.<br /><br />Some languages don't have the "V" sound, and those people couldn't pronounce "java", so the vendors of coffee started calling it "joe", after GI Joe. Thus "cuppajoe" entered our language through the GIs that were served "joe" and liked the melodic sound of "cuppajoe".<br /><br />I have no idea if the above is accurate, but I like the story. Every time I use the term I visualize Bill Mauldin's Willie and Joe heating a cuppajoe in a helmet over a small fire in a foxhole.

Old Curmudgeon, You are so wrong! Mono-HydrogenDioxide Is the leading cause of death in the Boating Community. People die if they breath it in, it causes Iron Corosion etc.
