I commented--you just didn't read the comment. My point is that "drink run" is not in the language, and if if it is, your addition was redundant because the accepted phrase is still "coffee break". If "drink run" is a new, regional and/or slang term, then a sentence explaining it suffices. There is no need to say "not everyone drinks coffee"; such things are obvious and already in the article as it is. Quill 01:50, 16 December 2005 (UTC) reply

RVV or bias?

I can't be sure which it is exactly; but this is just not right. John Reid 08:10, 19 February 2006 (UTC) reply

I can hardly control myself laughing. Clear vandalism. Pretty funny vandalism, though. Quill 00:47, 20 February 2006 (UTC) reply

(non-)usage of this term in New Zealand

I would say coffee break as such is never used in New Zealand even though most people go for a cup of coffee in morning or afternoon tea. It used to be met with blank stares in the late 1990s, and nowadays at least in the metropolitan areas (i.e. Auckland) it would be met with a laugh in the office setting "We are in New Zealand. We don't use this term here.", although people would have a vague idea of what you are trying to communicate. -- JNZ ( talk) 07:09, 26 July 2008 (UTC) reply
