There is a popular - though disputed - story that Americans started calling coffee "a cup of Joe" when Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels got rid of the rum ration on U.S. ships. Once Joe eliminated the rum ration, the strongest drink you could get on board was coffee. Hence, "cup of Joe". Is it true? Who knows? But I like it.

Nah, "earnest" means more like "sincere" or "genuinely believing," not so much "blunt." Besides, the name is spelled Ernest (my grandfather's name!)
