Reminds me of:

  Blonde with Sand = Coffee with cream and sugar.
  Chicks on a raft = Eggs on toast
  Coffee dry = coffee with sugar only
  Coffee high and dry = coffee with no cream or sugar or black

I don't know if today's diners continue to use terms like that (I haven't  
been out to one in years).  Bud sadly, the Tim Horton's here is pretty  
boring... if you order just a coffee by saying "coffee", it is assumed to  
be (no cream, no sugar), but if you say "double" or "double double", it is  
assumed be 1 cream and 1 sugar for the former, and twice that for the  
latter.
