Buoyant Boys

I had never, until the other day noticed the obvious connection between a "buoy", the thing that floats around in the sea, and "buoyant". It may have been obvious to you, you clever thing, but it had whooshed straight over my head like the link between "Capuchins" and "cappuccinos".

"Buoy" itself comes from the Old French word "boie" meaning "chain", because "buoys" are chained in place. This means that a "buoyant" personality is technically a shackled one. What's odder is that if somebody was a prisoner they were "emboie", or chained up. This meant that "boy" was a name given to "prisoners", then "servants", then "peasants", and then "young males" in general. And that's where we get the word "boy".

Call in the Augurs

Sometimes an etymology is so obvious that you can't believe you've never noticed it before. This was true of "cappuccinos" and "Capuchin monks", and is just as true of "inauguration".

When you begin something new, it is a good idea to call in a soothsayer, or "augur", to see how it will turn out. They can tell you whether today is a good day to start, and whether you should start at all. This is the "inauguration".

"Augur" itself may come from "avis", meaning "bird", because Roman "augurs" used to chop up our feathered friends in order to find the future in the belly of a pigeon. "Augur" may, though, be the cousin of "augment" because the purpose of an "augur" was to predict an increase (or "augmentation") in crops.

If "augur" does come from "augment", then it relates to author, as an author is somebody who increases and "augments" the number of a books in the world. Authors have authority, and writers have rights; but bards sit in bars buying dramatists drams.

The Inky Fool thinks it may rain this afternoon.

"Capuchin Cappuccinos" and Libidinous "Monkey-Monks"

To some is revealed the secret truth, to others is revealed the utterly obvious. I am in the latter camp. Somehow I managed to get through three decades of life without noticing that "cappuccinos" - those caffeinated concoctions covered with froth and chocolate - must have something to do with "Capuchin monks".

They do. That light, creamy brown of a well-stirred "cappuccino" is the same as the light creamy brown of a well-hooded "Capuchin"'s. Hence the name of the coffee.

"Capuchin" itself is merely the diminutive of the Italian "capuccio", which means "hood". The "Capuchins" originally wore hoods to hide from the Pope; and by the time the Pope got bored and stopped searching for them, the monks had grown too attached to their little hoods to let them go. It had become, so to speak, a habit.

Monks used to be the butt and target of medieval satire. People would write poems about them. You get some idea of their reputation from the fact that the first definite record of the word "fuck" comes from a fourteenth century poem about East-Anglian monks.

Non sunt in celi
quia fuccant uuiuys of heli

Which is a Latin-English mish-mash meaning:

They are not in heaven
Who fuck the wives of Ely

"Monks" also wore brown and black. They were therefore sometimes compared to apes. And that is probably* where we get the word "monkey". So what do you call a monkey that looks like it's wearing a hood?

That's right, dear reader, that's right. You call him a "capuchin monkey".

P.S. Incidentally, the idea for this post came to me when I was wandering around the Capuchin crypt in Rome, which is decorated entirely with the bones of dead monks [see picture]. It is without doubt the most screwed-up place I have ever been to, with the possible exception of Stranraer.

*The OED says this is the most likely derivation.

Open Dictionary word of the week: "cheapuccino"
Posted by Laine Redpath Cole on October 27, 2011
"cheapuccino" (noun) "low-quality, inexpensive cappuccino", e.g. from a vending machine I didn't have time to have proper lunch, so I bought some snacks and cheapuccino at a gas station. (Submitted by Monika Dolega from Poland) Times have changed. From what I can tell, the cheapuccino has emerged as a result of trying to cut costs […]
...
Back in 2006 things were looking better, so much better, in fact, that we were even buying our little ones cappuccinos and had to come up with a name for it: "babyccino". It looks like the capuccino could be a good indicator of how well you’re doing financially … if you live in a place that has a Starbucks, of course.

Rupert, Kim: Coffee Roses

A little outside the traditionally accepted range of rose colors lies a group of "special" varieties. They may not be what you would choose to include in the front-line rose garden as they might appear a bit drab among all their more brightly colored brethren.

These "coffee roses", as they have been called, truly come into their own when studied closely and used to create subtle, sophisticated arrangements. The genetic basis for many of them began with Sam McGredy's 1945 hybrid tea "GREY PEARL". This 4" to 4½" flower contains some of the rarest tints and shades to be found in a rose. The perfect bloom is a cool lavender-gray with tan and olive shadings and is fragrant. There are usually over forty petals expanding from the ovoid buds, the outer petals being longer than the inner and they often quarter. Constance Spry tells of GREY PEARL making the perfect wedding bouquet when combined with a brocade wedding dress, with heavily raised pattern, in her last book, Favorite Flowers. "GREY PEARL" can be a little difficult to grow until established. Keeping a young plant disbudded to force its energies into plant development rather than bloom production seems to be the key.

Starbucks VIA Review: Just Stir and Enjoy?

...
You will notice the depressing lack of sedge. It must have wither'd, for there was sedge there once, as the suburb's name is Sedge-stream, except it's not. Yorkshire was, a thousand and bit years ago, overrun by Vikings, so most of their place names are Scandinavian, and the Viking word for "Sedge-stream" is "Star-beck".

"Starbeck" is only recorded from 1817 but it must have been around before because a) It has a Viking name and b) there were people there who had sex as early as 1379. This sex produced families, and those families were called, by a slight alteration in the name, Starbuck. Since 1379 two things have happened: the Quaker movement was founded and America was discovered.

The result of this double-catastrophe was that among the first settlers on Nantucket Island was a Quaker family called "Starbuck". Nantucket was a centre of the whaling industry and the Starbucks took up their harpoons and set off to seek their oily fortunes at sea. Valentine Starbuck met the King and Queen of Hawaii and took them to London where they got measles and died. Obed Starbuck sighted a coral atoll in the middle of the Pacific which was later named "Starbuck Island" in Valentine's honour. The point is that the "Starbucks" were famous whalers, which brings us to Moby Dick.

Moby Dick is about a bunch of sailors having a whale of a time (whale, in case you were wondering, was early C20th American slang for a lot - whale of a job etc). The first mate of the whaling ship Pequod is called "Starbuck", because the "Starbucks" were such prominent whalers. Moby Dick, aside from having a vaguely amusing name, is a favourite with American schoolteachers, which brings us to Jerry Baldwin.

Jerry Baldwin was an English teacher from Seattle, who in 1971, along with a couple of friends, decided to start a coffee shop. He wanted to name it "Pequod", after the ship in Moby Dick but was shouted down by his partners who pointed out that Pee is not a good syllable to have in a shop selling liquids.

So the others cast around for a local name and found that there was an abandoned mining town near Mount Ranier called Camp Starbo. At this point Jerry Baldwin piped up and suggested a compromise. If he couldn't have "Pequod", what about "Starbucks", which sounds a little like "Starbo" and is a character in Moby Dick. They decided that this was a good name, and the rest is bad coffee.

And it all goes back to a sedge-covered stream in Yorkshire.
...

Starbucks Index

...
L'un des trois fondateurs, Gordon Bowker, était écrivain avant de devenir entrepreneur. C'est probablement dans cet amour des livres que se niche l'origine du nom Starbucks.

Starbuck est en effet l'un des personnages de Moby Dick, le célèbre roman de Melville.

Starbucks

Die Erfolgsgeschichte dieser jungen Marke fing 1971 in Seattle, Washington State, an. Genauer gesagt am Pike Place Market, dem ältesten, ständigen Bauernmarkt des Landes. Aber damals war das Kerngeschäft die Kaffee Rösterei und nicht der Aufbau von Coffee Shops. Es war ein regionales Business.

Der Name stammt vom ersten Maat aus Herman Melvilles Roman Moby Dick, der als Kaffeeliebhaber bekannt war: "Starbucks" (vgl. hierzu auch die Entstehung > Starbucks-Logos).

...
Nicht nur der an die Seefahrertradition der ersten Kaffeehändler erinnernde Markenname, sondern auch das Logo zeugen von den Ursprüngen der Seefahrt und des Kaffeehandels. Aus diesem Grund hat man beim Logo die Darstellung einer Meerjungfrau gewählt. Interessanterweise hatte die Meerjungfrau anfangs noch sichtbare Brüste, die später der US-amerikanischen Prüderie zum Opfer gefallen sind.

Starbucks Introduces New Sizes -- April Fool's Day, 2010

...
Moby Dick was indeed a book beloved of one of the Starbucks founders. He proposed naming the company Pequod, after the ship. "Pee-quod" was nixed by his partners, and they cast about for a name with some local flavor (local to Seattle, Washington). They came upon the name Starbo, from an old mining camp on Mt. Rainier, and liked it. Then the Moby Dick fan drew a phonetic connection between "Starbo" and the novel - the Pequod's First Mate named Starbuck. And "Starbucks" it was.

Seattle im Überblick
...
Die Stadt wurde in Europa vor ein paar Jahren durch den Film »Sleepless in Seattle« näher bekannt. Die Jugend hingegen kannte die Stadt schon lange vorher durch ihre Musik. Die alternative Szene macht seit einigen Jahren Schlagzeilen und hat weltberühmte Bands wie Nirvana oder Pearl Jam hervorgebracht. Diese und andere Gruppen prägten den Seattle Sound, den sog. Grunge. Musik hat in Seattle Tradition: Jimmy Hendrix, Quincy Jones oder Ray Charles wurden hier geboren oder lebten hier, ebenso Jazz-Musiker Kenny J.

Seattle ist die Stadt der Erfinder und Existenzgründer. Die Namen reichen von Microsoft über UPS bis zum Flugzeughersteller Boeing, bis heute Hauptarbeitgeber der Region. Die jüngste Erfolgstory heißt jedoch "Starbucks". Howard Schultz erwarb in den 80ern eine Reihe lokaler Cafés und machte aus diesen innerhalb kürzester Zeit eine weltweite Café-Kette.
