Strangely attuned to the vibration of the spheres

I had An Encounter whilst trying to order the necessary caffeine dosage to get through this particular day, so my thoughts turned to my faithful flist. Poll Time! (No, not Hammer Time. Poll Time!)

[Poll #785688]


Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go bounce off the walls.

I'm pretty sure I'd call it "a shot or two of espresso topped with regular coffee."

What? I lack creativity before I have any caffeine in my veins!

I had never heard of such a thing, and I've lived as an adult, mostly in the south and Ohio.

I don't think I'd like it.

In the interest of full disclosure, I may have learned the term "shot in the dark" from an Alaskan (one of my co-baristas from back in the Starbucks days).

I was told by my friend who works at Starbucks that that drink with 2 shots of expresso is called a "Black Eye," although she doesn't like to use that name when the customer is black.

I would call it "A Weak Version of Kyle's Coffee", because an old friend of mine drank something very similar. His, however, was 4 shots of espresso in a 16oz. cup of drip, with two shots of chocolate syrup added.
