Nah... I never would have guessed.

An occasional eccentricity as opposed to a habit, I can live with.
(after all, I'm the tea-drinker...) What I find rather silly is the
quantity of folks who are so addicted that they will go to great lengths
to try to 'explain' it. Why not just unapologetically say "Yes, I drink
coffee in the morning, and yes I know it isn't period. Wouldn't you
rather talk about cuskynoles?"
