Uncle Qs Word of the Day (#UQWOTD): Anthora n. (say: ANN-thuh-ruh): a paper coffee cup design that has become an iconic symbol of New York City daily life. A play on the word amphora, the cup was originally designed by Leslie Buck of the Sherri Cup Co. in 1963, to appeal to Greek-owned coffee shops in New York City — and was later copied heavily by other companies. The cup subsequently became the metropolitan areas definitive coffee-to-go cup, and is available in delis and bodegas across town. #WordPower #coffee #coffeeachiever #NYC #NewYork #NYU #UncleQ Great usage in the attached obituary about Mr. Buck from The New York Times: nytimes/2010/04/30/nyregion/30buck.html
