MORPHIATTO
(N.) 'mor-fee-ot-to One of those rogue cups of coffee which, instead of making you more alert, acts like a knock-out drop and sends you into dreamland. Also CAFE CON LETHE (kaf-'fay-kon-'lee-thee). Usage: Cramming the night before a 9 a.m. midterm, Jim slugged back a mug of strong coffee at 2 a.m. ...only to wake up petrified, six hours later, to realize he'd been done in by a morphiatto.
