Angelmaker
An angelmaker was a woman who adopted children or accepted them into foster care in exchange for payment, and proceeded to treat them so badly that they died—or turned them into angels, if you will. There are also cases of premeditated murder. Maltreatment took the form of e.g. prolonged neglect and starvation, and since many of the children were illegitimate, their parents rarely visited to check in on them. The foster home "care"givers quickly realized that letting a few of these children die due to drawn-out starvation or maltreatment was economically profitable. One of the most infamous angelmakers is Hilda Nilsson from Sweden. Knee-deep in debt, she started accepting children into foster care as a way to raise money to pay her family's bills. Her home was otherwise well-kept and clean, lulling the parents into a false sense of security as they relinquished their children into Nilsson's care. Eventually, she was exposed after Nilsson refused contact when one mother tried to get in touch with their (most likely already deceased) child. Nilsson was sentenced to death in 1917 after the murder of eight children, with some sources claiming the number of victims reaching as many as 17 children. Before Nilsson's execution, she hanged herself in her jail cell. Although difficult to pinpoint the widespreadness of angelmakers, they were mostly present during the 19th and early 20th century.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Came in like ordered, solid mug
The mug arrived as shown and expected. But, it is an average mug and the cost is quite high. It's funny and good as a one time gift. If we needed several, the cost would be prohibited. Again, funny product and as expected.
Love it. I can't wait to give it as a gift yo

Having my first cup of coffee in the new cup. Good idea to add new terms through individual contributions.
10/10 Looks exactly like the preview. Shipping was fast.
This is for my granddaughter whom I used to call cutie patootie until she found out another meaning for patootie. Then she didn’t like the name so much! This will be a perfect gift for her! She is 16.
Love the cups :) It reminds us of our sweet momma. I thought everyone knew the word "mommicked" but evidently it is an Eastern North Carolina thing...My sisters and I all married Northerner/ Yankees and they had never heard of the word. Thank you for a tender memory.
Cup came in one piece and looks as nice as it does in the picture! Only note is just be mindful of any typos in the description of the definition, they will show up on the cup too! Other than that, no complaints!
This reminds me of the amazing teams i worked in!
