Absinthe
Referred to as "the green fairy" due to it's green coloring. Used by many famous authors and artists including Hemingway, Wilde, and Picasso. Causes hallucination and severe drunkenness. Traditionally taken with a cube of sugar and an absinthe spoon but you should drink it any way you can get it down. Very strong. Wow that shot of absinthe tasted horrible but it's totally worth it!

In a newspaper ad of 1769 the two Henriod sisters from Neuchatel, Switzerland, advertised their remedy "Bon Extrait d'Absinthe" which consisted of alcohol, wormwood, aniseed, lemon balm and other herbs. This formula was later distributed by a certain Dr. Ordinaire – and the success story of the "Green Fairy" was born. Around the year 1800 the formula was sold to Mr. H. L. Pernod of Pontarlier, France, where a minor production line was started and helped Pernod to gain a fame that lasted until our present time. During the Algier War in the 19th century France made use of the inciting effects of Absinthe and provided the Soldiers with regular rations of the liquor. The veterans who had survived this war soon pushed the production output from 400 liters daily (appr. 90 gallons) to more than 20.000 liters (appr. 5.000 gallons) a day and more. Absinthe distilleries started to spread all over France like mushrooms. However, artists and intellectuals of those times were the ones especially devoted to Absinthe. Many great works of contemporary art owe their existence to the inspiring effects of the spirit. Great names like Baudelaire, Manet, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Oscar Wilde, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, van Gogh, Gauguin and Picasso are found among these early adepts of Absinthe. For different reasons around 1910 the total turnover of Absinthe distribution had reached immeasurable peaks. Many distilleries made use of low-grade alcohol which in some not too rare cases caused blindness among the consumers. These irresponsible dealings with the drink finally resulted in the prohibition of Absinthe in (almost) all countries of Europe by the year 1920. Since in 1981 (and again in 1998) the European Community has returned to legalizing the production and distribution of Absinthe, the cult around this drink has experienced a true revival. Starting from London, Absinthe is about to conquer the club & party scene and leaves them all plunging back into the euphory of the 19th century. This drink really makes you go crazy.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
This will be the perfect gift this winter! It even came in a nice little box. The mug seems to be of good quality. It was a bit pricy, got to be honest, but it’ll be very well received.
Deathless but probably comatose verse This cup is a beautiful mug From which I am happy to chug while engaging in jomo (the obverse of fomo), and pulling the ol' cyber plug.
The mug is just the right size, and the graphics are awesome!
This mug... this mug gave me a feeling that I can only describe as pure euphoria. The 'MRI - Man's a Real Idiot' mug is truly a gift from above. I cannot express how happy I am with it. When it arrived at my front door, it was a moment of epiphany for myself. My eyes were opened. I understood what was missing in my life... and it was that very mug. Whoever created it is truly gifted. I bless them. You too could purchase it, although the price may seem high at first, for what it is, it is the greatest deal one could ever make.
Would have like the entire cup with purple color. Not just the part with the slogan. It's a nice cup!
Wow! Outstanding mug! I strive to be swoogish one day
It was fantastic very good quality.
Was purchased as a gift . Very well received . Easy ordering . Arrived earlier than predicted.excellent quality. Would recommend to friends and family and will definitely order again in the future.
The mug I ordered came in perfect shape In a box obviously designed for safe shipping. Quality is beautiful and is exactly as described. Thank you!
ABSOLUTE ART WORK!!!!! This is literally the best mug in the world. My entire family has one (wife, 2 daughters, and 3 sons). I would definitely recommend and place it as a mounoment.
Hilarious, I couldn't help but burst out loud in laughter.... !!!
It understands me. this mug has treated me better than any girl i've ever dated, and every bro i've chilled in the same bed with. we've been though thick and thin, but mostly thicc. i used to be depressed, but now this mug holds my existential fears so i dont need to carry them with me. i even wrote a song about my mug: mary had a little mug, e-i-e-i-o how i wonder what you are, floppy dongs near and far, cherri had a real thicc mug, e-i-e-i-despaci-to
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!!!! ;)
