[Van Hagar]

I know we are getting off topic here, but this is a vital topic. So for the uninitiated (probably anyone under 45 or 50), OSH is right on the money, red eye gravy was just the grease drippings from (usually) country ham mixed with coffee (preferably that had been brewed in a percolator. Young ones, ask someone 60 or so what a percolator is). And it was known as sop because you sopped it up with your (homemade) biscuits. Two thumbs up from the surgeon general.
