Hey, I couldn't think of a ubiquitous name for a java joint other than "yuppie-foo-foo-drink-bucks".
By the bye, I HATE Starbucks. I only go into them under protest when I'm with others, they look at you like a deer in the headlights when you order just a plain cuppa joe, and I always have to fight the urge to yell "Free Maxwell House" and run like hell outta the place. And their plain cuppa joe, SUCKS. McDonalds makes a MUCH better cup of coffee. By the bye, I lived in the UK for seven years, and they're more interested in Curry than Szechwan. If you ever get the chance, order a "Fal" instead of the more popular "Vindaloo". Heat-wise, a Fal is one step above Vindaloo, and one step below nuclear fusion.

I think the term is yuppi foo-foo drinks and from old post http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001e.html#31 High Level Language Systems was Re: computer books/authors "Real Programmers Don't Eat Quiche" (also "Real Software Engineers Don't Read Dumps") from above: Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They like Twinkies, Coke and palate-scorching Szechwan food. ... snip ...
