I never knew this was a real word! it was like snafu, or faquary (a contraction, for "Where the F*** are we?") a word that i used all the time, but never thought about!

dreich, or as i think of it, dreek, is cold, left over, day old coffee, that you are drinking because there is no fresh coffee to brew up, or some such.. (how can you drink that dreek?) and or a cold, windy, rainy, grey winter's day.. the kind you wake and want to just get back under the covers with a nice cup of cocoa, and good book..
