Asmodeus
Asmodeus, also known as Ashmadia, most likely originated from the Persian Aeshma-deva ("demon of waith"). The apocryphal Book of Tobit describes an instance where Raguel's daughter, Sarah, was tormented by the demon. She was married to seven times, each time the Asmodeus killed off the husband before they could have intercourse. Sarah, was about to hang herself in grief, but decided against it after thinking about the shame it would cause her father. She then prayed to God for death. God answered her prayer by sending the angel, Raphael, to her aid. He instructed Tobiah to place fish liver and heart on the embers for incense. Asmodeus was repelled by the odor: "The demon, repelled by the odor of the fish, fled into Upper Egypt; Raphael pursued him there and bound him hand and foot." - Tobit 8:3 In the Testament of Solomon (dated 1st - 3rd centuries CE) , Solomon invokes Asmodeus to aid in the construction of the Temple. The demon appears and predicts Solomon's kingdom will one day be divided. "My constellation (is like an animal which) reclines in its den in heaven; some men call me the Great Bear, but others the Offspring of a Dragon. Moreover, a smaller constellation accompanies my constellation, for the high position and throne of my father is always in the sky. So do not ask me so many things, Solomon, for eventually your kingdom will be divided. This glory of yours is temporary. You have us to torture for a little while; then we shall disperse among human beings again with the result that we shall be worshiped as gods because men do not know the names of the angels who rule over us." -TSol 5:4-5 After Asmodeus had spoken, Solomon ordered him to state his name and activities, to which the demon responded that he: "Is always hatching plots against newlyweds; I mar the beauty of virgins and cause their hearts to grow cold" - TSol 5:7 When Solomon interrogated Asmodeus further, he learned that Asmodeus was thwarted by the angel, Raphael, as well as sheatfish found in the rivers of Assyria. He also admitted he hated water. Milton writes in Paradise Lost 'Better pleased Than Asmodeus with the fishy fume That drove him, though enamoured, from the spouse Of Tobit's son, and with a vengeance sent From Media post to Egypt, there fast bound." - Paradise Lost , iv. 167--71. Asmoday appears later in Mather's translation of the Goetia: the Lesser Key of Solomon as the 32th spirit.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
It’s a great way to store my pencils.
I used this instead of condoms It didn’t work and now my nephew is my son
Ordering was very easy and the delivery to a different address then the billing address was done effortlessly with complete correct order. Was delivered before estimated date which was very exciting. Good job well done by all.
Funny stuff! I wish the mugs cost a bit less, I'd buy more. There's an almost unlimited supply of clever slang.
awesome. came just as ordered.
Nice cup a few words were darker than the rest. But ok
아주 좋은 머그잔 나는 죽은 아버지를 위해 시원한 머그잔을 얻었고 매우 자랑스러워했습니다.
I like the mug, it’s good quality, unfortunately the customization wasn’t correct. I got the “juff” mug and instead of the definition i had a quote from one of my friends as a bit, but it just came with the definition. I’ll still give it to him because the joke still works but I am a little disappointed.
Love the fact that Urban dictionary came up with such an accurate and quick meaning for Binger! Mug was a little pricy but God is my morning coffee so much better in this mug!!
This mug is incredible! It was a great gift for my friend named Jacob, who is definitely gay. (Even though he says he isn't 🙄)
Great mug, she loved it
I'm in a Spanish-speaking practice group, and the phrase "Ajo y Agua" came up, meaning, (more or less) "If you f***ed up, deal with it." (It's a long story, how "Garlic and Water" means this, but that's the fun of it.) Anyway, the Urban Dictionary site with the mug popped up on Google (reading my mind, as always) so I bought one as a gift. It's not cheap as mugs go, but I'm happy to say the mug is VERY good quality, looks exactly as it does online, and is packed in the most securely designed mug-transport box I've ever seen. You can't break it in shipping or reshipping! Also it arrived in just a few days. I recommend this product highly.
i like mug that say words
I purchased the eggplant color cup for my friend, purple is her favorite color and she loves her special cup, she cooks a lot, so I had Itis with Iris put on one side of the cup and the meaning on the other side because when she cooks that how everyone feels afterwards!! Thanks UD Diana K.
Wanted to try these guys out to see if they delivered and how it'd go. Went great. Got two mugs within 7 days, unharmed, printed well. THANK YOU

Hello, I am here to present if this is a real rating system or not. If you are reading this it's a true rating system. But if this doesn't make it, urban dictionary, I know what you are doing.
