Cross-X
A term used primarily in Colorado to describe Policy Debate. It is a type of debate where two debate teams (made up of two members each) are paired up, each team being assigned either Negative or Affirmative. The affirmative team presents a plan adhering (usually) to that year's resolution, while it is the negative team's job to prove what is bad about passing the plan (using such arguments as Disadvantages, Topicality, Counter-Plans, Kritiks, and answers to Inherency/Solvency/Advantages). Cross-x, or CX, is what makes speech tournaments take forever because each round has a minimum 1 hour of speaking. As CX debate evolved, the debaters realized that the more arguments you can read, the more likely you are to win the round. So, a new style of reading evidence evolved, called "spreading" (a clever combination of "speed" and "reading"). While this is a good idea in theory, some debaters choose excessive speed over clarity, not realizing that almost all judges aren't going to vote for you if they can't understand what you're saying. Finally, there is a myriad of critics who claim that debaters live in an "ivory tower" mindset. For God's sake, it's a game! Debate's an after-school activity! Don't criticize high-schoolers for viewing the world as they do. They aren't real policy makers, they only pretend to be.

Henceforth, I am unable to leave a negative review for this amazing cup.
Good quality, just as pictured. Very pleased with it!
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!
great experience, with fast delivery. Thank you!
my grandma loved it!
My grandma is HOOKED
Based mug
This mug makes me happy :) reminds me of so many funny high school memories!
The mug came quickly and we love it!
These mugs are always good. I usually choose the neon green!
The mug is pretty and the writing on it is clear. It is of good quality and it makes me smile.
Well madder nice print. 8 0z cup. I'd prefer a mug but will be ordering 3 more. Just my cuppa tea (or coffee). Americans always make fun of some of the things I say. Recently my brother and I were talking about the Trawna Maple Leafs. I decided to look it up and sure enough there is was Trawna the city I grew up in. Now who has the last laugh.
