chapulling
Chapulling is a newly-coined word derived from the 2013 protests in Turkey after Prime Minister Erdogan's speech. He used the word "çapulcu" (normally means "looter", "marauder") to describe the peaceful demonstrators and then the social sites adapted this word to English with a new meaning: fighting for one's rights. A news channel's workers are chapulling. Talking about the protesters, who are actually ordinary citizens of Turkey, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said during a speech: "We cannot just watch some marauders (looters) inciting our people. ... Yes, we will also build a mosque. I do not need permission for this from the head of the republican party (CHP) nor from a few marauders (looters).1" In a turn of events, the protesters quite quickly decided to take over the term to describe themselves as "çapulcu" and completely changed the meaning. Within days, it seemed that what was once a term describing something negative became the opposite. All around the world, supporters for the Gezi Park events started taking photos of themselves showing "I'm chapulcu, as well" and posting it on social media addressed at the protesters in Turkey. Soon, even mainstream media outside of Turkey started using the term, first slowly but growing by the hour. source: wikipedia related youtube video id: watch?v=64q2GIqH7S8

Gay Label Adore this. Ordered for my husband, with the second definition on the back, about the gay filmmaker. Makes a nice discussion starter.
Top notch shipping and exactly what I hoped!!
Best mug i have ever purchased! Subscribe
I love it, but of course the definition Ichose for “Unicorn” is too long and gets cut off after “someone is remarkably attractive.” Is there any way to purchase a second mug that has the rest of the quote on it? They’d make a great set as a present. Please let me know. David Tillinghast dtilling480@gmail.com
