Coffeecup Edit Meaning

1.

(c) or copyright

Originated from an instant messaging program that automatically converts "(c)" into an emoticon of a coffee cup. Due to the often jovial nature of instant message correspondence, coffeecup has become a suitably humorous substitute for its more accurate synonym: copyright.
