    Is "Joe" another reference to coffee?
    Yes, but not directly. People call a cup of coffee a cup of Joe. You wouldn't hear somebody refer to a can of coffee as a can of Joe though. I think it's more regional as well. I don't hear it often here in Northern California, but I've heard it in my travels elsewhere.

    Here's an amusing annecdote: My mum's cousin's husband was named Joe. He owned a successful coffee business.

    Some of them are more forward than teenage boys with no scruples!


    We practically have an I.V. drip of the stuff!
