Why does "coffee" != coffee?

Like when you ask someone out for "coffee", you aren't really going to get coffee tho.

Say what?

If I ask someone out for "coffee", I most certainly AM going to get coffee???

EDIT: It's a nice, low-cost, informal way to get to know someone a LITTLE better without committing to anything yet. So...yeah, Starbucks or Arabica or Bellatazza or Dilussos or something...

I see. Like when you post a "thread" that is not a thread, but rather a steaming pile of incoherent nonsense.
 
if you order coffee instead of the orange mocha frappuccino, then you'd actually be getting coffee when you said let's go out for coffee.

It's because in The Netherlands, they have a thing called a coffee shop, which is a legal place to buy the only thing that they are legal for in the world.

Are you trying to say "lets have coffee sometime" really means "lets get together and do anything nonspecific"?
 
when you say lets go for coffee all it means is lets go out for about 30 min, chat, have something to drink. its more of an expression then a literal statment. your not gonna say "Hey wanna go out for a double mocca latey lowfat chocolate frapachino?" just doesn't sound suave
 
"coffee" is a string (++How long is a piece of string? It is a definate length... They want coffee.) Coffee, on the other hand, is a variable (++They either want coffee, or they want coffee.

what about coffee
 
Cause "coffee" is a direct string and coffee is a variable. You never declared coffee of type string numbnuts.
 
Do you mean...

"Hey baby, wanna go get some coffee?"

vs. being honest and saying...

"Hey baby, wanna go on a date?"

😀
 
Maybe we could go out for coffee sometime?

Great, or maybe we could go somewhere and just eat a bunch of caramels.

What?

When you think about it, it's just as arbitrary as drinking coffee.

Okay, sounds good.
