Thread Name: Origins: Etymology of Taps?
Subject: RE: Etimology of Taps?
US Army mess call, when I was in that estimable organization, had popular words as follows:

Soupy, soupy, soupy, without a single bean
Bacon, bacon, bacon, without a streak of lean. Coffee, coffee, coffee, the weakest ever seen!
