A bridge too far
Taking on more than you can likely achieve, particularly too many tasks. While it can imply a long-shot, it connotes more an idea of striving to do more than can be achieved, rather than striving to do a thing that is unlikely to be successful. The previous definition by "A solid cube of tungsten" had a good historical reference, but the particular example was not quite on point: "The story behind it is that during WWII in 1944, the Allies came up with a plan (Operation Market Garden) to use paratroopers to secure three bridges over three key rivers behind enemy lines in The Netherlands. British forces would then rush forward across all three bridges to relieve the paratroopers, and later push into Germany itself. It was an extremely ambitious plan. A British commander is alleged to have said “I think we may be going a bridge too far”, and he was right. The American airborne divisions were able to capture the first two bridges, and were relieved. But the British and Polish paratroopers at the third and final bridge at Arnhem were basically wiped out before tanks of the Irish Guards could punch through to reach them. Market Garden was an operational failure."
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Great mug, 100% recommend it for all family members! Best gift I’ve ever received!!!
It was so easy to order - and I could play with the syntax of the definition to get it just right. All of this was easy. And quite soon it arrived and is perfect.
Love it!! So true!!
I love 💕 mugs ☘️! These are so lovable. Thanks! I love the urban dictionary writers too.
The printing, the Word and it's definition -- were not quite what I expected. And the same word definition ordered on two different mugs, and yet each was described / defined differently.
Augustine would love the mis-spelling It should be Augustine's Laws. A great book - every engineer, programmer, project and programme manager should read. Based on experience of Defence and Space projects, and with lots of real data to support the tongue-in-cheek advice, it really has more value than all the System Engineering books I've never read. Can't wait to get a mug.
Sickm8 it was blooming gr8 for me GF. She bloody loved it. Onya!!!! ;)

very good product, i drink my coffee out of it every single morning. a tiny little itty bitty problem i have with it though, is that every time i drink anything except for coffee out of this mug it barrates me for having bad taste. makes me very sad, honestly. i didnt know cups could talk, but appearently i have been proven wrong. i would really appreciate it if you could start double checking if your cups are possesed by melicous spirts who like to insult you! except for that, great product!!
The workmanship of the product was excellent, and packaging for your delivery of this fragile item, a coffee mug, was appropriately safe. Nice job all around. Thank you.
It's the best mug in the history of mugs.
love it
excellent customer service. i gave the wrong address and they got it here quick.
This was easy to order although I wish the preview pics showed the next on both sides once you finish customizing. But I appreciated that if the text doesn't fit they email you and ask what you want it to say. Came out great and I can't wait to give it as a gift
it was frickin good mug i liked it it was good I have never thought of myself as someone who drinks from mugs. After I drank from this mug, I thought of myself as a mug-drinker. It was magical. My entire life changed. I didn't know what to do with myself anymore. How do you follow up a lifestyle change? I went on a long walk. About 67 miles. Once I got to the Walgreen's I realized I could've just drove. But I didn't. I'm no quitter. Not with this mug. This mug gives me power, perseverance. You want this mug. Trust me. You want this mug.

I love How I can order a cup with one of my favorite words
Well printed, the mug's ceramic is of good quality, I'm not sure what else I can add. I am surprised it could be printed and shipped so quickly based on my earlier experience printing/kiln-firing/baking this kind of product. Well done.
Sent to a friend. He loved it!
I can't stop putting weird things on the cup I love this website 😆
Purchased this for my fiancé. One night watching TV, she blurted out the word "kaputnik." We laughed so hard. Never dreamed it was an actual word. Now, we know better. LOL
