um, i disagree. Soiled dice warrant an "ew" a "gross" AND a "revolting." And BTW, "ew" is cross between "gross" or "revolting" and "huh."

Relax, 10:15. It's just a roach in a coffee cup. It's just a dirty die in a Trouble game. It's just a different choice of vocabulary. Take a deep breath. Relax....

Huh? If I found a roach in my coffee I would shudder with disgust. You would "relax" and what, drink it anyway?

Actually, "ew" comes from the Latin "Eublecchhius" , a term coined originally as a description of the practice of regurgitation during particularly sumptous Roman feasts and sometimes used to described communal Roman baths in the lower quarters-largely out of favor in the new millenium. see also,"Greek Gods, Nastius".

PS-what coffee shop? The one next to Bethesda Bagels?

I'm sorry but I have to say -- this one deserves a big, fat EWWWWW!!!

Sorry - theory is incorrect and research has conclusively shown to be a later interpolation.

The term "ew" actually comes from the Greek "Eudidaskomenos", the practice of gathering an unfit mother in the agora while other mothers, wearing masks, berated her for her poor parenting skills.

All the semantics aside, it's normal for food/beverage stores to have bugs. They do all they can to fight it I am sure. But once in a while one slips through. Usually you just don't see it.

Normal. Gross. You'll probably get over it.

Dude, you are totally righteous-I had just returned from a feast for Bacchus and was totally wasted-my bad!

That would be, of course, because they "taught her a good," right? I actually just dusted off my old Liddell and Scott (classic Classical Greek-English lexicon, for our less geeky DCUM sisters) hoping to find some support for the PP's assertion. Alas, my lexicon is abridged.

Sorry- dorky former Classics student apologizing for sending before proofreading. I meant to write, "taught her good"...
