spilled coffee
Morning mug mishap
Spilled coffee is coffee that has escaped its container, usually onto a surface where it doesn't belong.
The phrase often implies minor disaster—ruined documents, stained clothing, a morning gone wrong: I spilled coffee all over my keyboard.
Spilled coffee on oneself became legally significant after a famous 1994 lawsuit against McDonald's.
