Cup A Joe

1. A cup of coffee. The term originates from former U.S. Navy Secretary Josephus Daniels; when Daniels banned alcohol from Navy vessels, soldiers instead drank coffee and grudgingly came up with the term.
2. A pair of coffee shops in Raleigh, North Carolina; incidently, both are only a few miles from Daniels' former residence.
