[edit] Etymology

Appearing at the end of the 19th century, as a blend of java and mocha. By the 1920's, another meaning that is still used was a slang for a person who lacked mental abilities beyond that of a cup of coffee, probably influenced by moke. In the 1960's, it began to also be used as slang for male genitalia.
