Avatar and Feather
A act wherein the graphical avatar of any forum user is involuntarily changed (generally by a forum moderator) to an image which is embarrassing or inappropriate. The phrase is descended from "tarring and feathering," a mob-administered vigilante punishment common in the American frontier era, wherein the victim was covered with hot tar onto which bird feathers were then pressed. Avatarring and Feathering is considered to be a tongue-in-cheek punishment, as it is not significantly destructive to the user's online experience (in contrast with banning / kicking.) As such, it is levied upon extremely minor offenders, or even as an in-joke for some specific contextual purpose within a thread. The application of Avatarring and Feathering serves a purpose more similar to that of the dunce cap or the scarlet letter in earlier times. By comparison, the real-world punishment of tarring and feathering often caused moderate-to-severe injuries to the victim as the hot (sometimes boiling) tar was poured onto the skin. The first known utterance of the phrase occurred on 5 May, 2013, when a user, posting on a sportscar-related web forum, had his avatar changed from that of an automobile on fire to one of a stylized pink pony character from the popular television show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." This was done after he employed the word Brony in an apparently serious context while responding to another user, whom he suspected of trolling.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
i love the schizophrenia mug its amazing
This cute mug reminded me of a quote from an obscure biography I found quite by accident in a tiny hole-in-the-wall 2nd hand shop in Portland, ME in 1987: 'The Life and Times of Lazarus of Bethany'. Quote: " We are all walking wounded held together by the scars of our forbearance and the charity of our sisters and brothers." Truer words have never been said.
Love it . Its me down to a T
unlike most mug customization, you can say whatever the fuck you want. Bravo!
i liked that the mug had my name on it and a funny definition, i will definitely buy some for my friends(with their names of course).
I bought it as sort of a gag gift for my son and his new girlfriend and they loved it
I haven't even bought it, it smells nice
nice quality, vivid image
What's funny is the saying that everyone searched for is the one that popped up on the cup. So all the weird gross sayings that people are commenting on are completely out of context to everyone seeing their comment.
I would buy a morbillion of these mugs.
Coffee is good with a banana (minus the Shimflins!)
It was a good gift

EVERY mug I have ordered online through Urban Dictionary has exceeded my expectations! Each (5) is of a very high quality: Clear/Clean printing (ink, color, sharpness, clarity), and Outstanding craftsmanship ("feels" good to hold, and you can tell it "ain't made cheap"). Your company should be proud, indeed.
