Copying the Starbucksβ’ business-model all across the World on an unprecedented level. Startup companies that has copied the franchise-scheme of Starbucks coffeehouse (small vendors/ neat outlook/ gourmet catering...), are now called 'Startbucks'!
Also, university classes called 'Starbucks studies' are now being taught at some colleges across the United States, too!
Starbucking is so popular in Third-World countries like India and China that these countries started their own carbon-copy Starbucks (complete with that famous green logo), but the Starbucks company is going to open nearly 100 franchise outlets in India by the end of 2007 in retaliation!

The McDonalds of coffee houses. Popular with the masses because of it's convenience of having a location on every corner and sometimes even located inside of other stores. Tries to pass off as a hangout for free-thinking artsy types when it is really an evil corporation that treats it's suppliers in developing nations like trash.
"The Man" gets his coffee at starbucks.

Starbuck's: A coffee shop or cafe which likes to make its money by making other coffe shops go out of business.
plan: make a starbuck on each corner of the street the enemy coffee shop is on. All three coffee shops do badly, but because Starbuck's is a multi-million dollar company, the other shop goes bankrupt first, leaving Starbuck's to reap all the customers, and inevitably, benifets.
outcome: Starbuck's on pretty much every corner in every city with coffee shops
"hey do u wanna go 2 Starbuck's somewere"
"sure, wot abt that 1... ro that 1... or there's 1 over there... heres 1"
Starbuck's are taking over, there is no escape

A large coffee franchise that only sells fair trade coffee when requested, has sucky atmosphere, and has ruined the art of true espresso with it's fast-food style espresso machines. I put them in the same league as McDonald's McCrapfe. Not only do they use similarly crappy machines, McDonald's sells Seattle's Best drip coffee, which is now owned by Starbucks as well. Seeing a connection here? Also, they monopolize on the masses of people (who I don't blame) who think sugary, watered down coffee is what good espresso should taste like. I daresay if they had a decent espresso drink, it would rock their world.
Friend 1: "Want to go to Starbucks?"
Friend 2: "Fuck you."

Is a chain of coffee shops across America, Canada, and any other country that can afford coffe.
Often, some people may also refer to it as "Fourbucks" coffee. Obviously because of the cost of the coffe.

Intergalactic warfare between evolved bucks (bid deer) and humans. The subdivision 9 of the Alienwarfare sports association. Bucks throw stars across the galaxy just to have some fun watching planets explode. The sports team has been first place at dominating planets since 1978. These bucks get money for the team from selling coffee on all sorts of planets for the "white ones" they call the consumers. Mainly Earth where the bucks came from.
I'm not drinking that Shitty Starbucks coffee! I don't like the Starbucks Sports Team!
