Dead to the world
An expression not to be taken literally. A dramatic way of explaining the status of being so overworked, stressed out, sleep deprived, and/or having so much schoolwork that a person feels forced to freeze all social interactions for an extended period of time. Typically used in the form of a declaration, as in "I am now 'dead to the world'" This expression is especially useful when young people live in close quarters with one another such as in a college dormatory. It is commonly acceptable for a person who declares him/herself "dead to the world" to break off all non-essential communications (such as Facebook) and not to show up to planned events or meetings. No further notice should be required aside from the basic declaration. It is the sociological equivalent of the automatic stay in Bankruptcy law. In theory, the declaration of one's "death to the world" provides both a convenient excuse and a temporary protective injunction against social obligations or expectations. This expression is typically written as a Facebook status or on a whiteboard in plain view of its intended audience. Declarants of their death "to the world" should be teased in a friendly or sarcastic way for thinking that by hiding from their friends they will be able to squeeze out an extra ounce of productivity. Declarants should ideally be made to think that declaring death to the world is futile, because a life without friends, even temporarily, is an offense against the fundamental values of humanity. Thus, declaring oneself "dead to the world" presents a paradox. It is a form of self-destruction or sacrifice that simultaneously preserves the self from the shame of failing to meet professional expectations. If a declarant is caught engaging in a social activity and he/she has not revoked the declaration, he/she must receive harsh scorn from friends. The typical response to such a scenario is to heckle the declarant with the following formulation: "Hey, jerk, you said you were dead to the world!"

very good product, i drink my coffee out of it every single morning. a tiny little itty bitty problem i have with it though, is that every time i drink anything except for coffee out of this mug it barrates me for having bad taste. makes me very sad, honestly. i didnt know cups could talk, but appearently i have been proven wrong. i would really appreciate it if you could start double checking if your cups are possesed by melicous spirts who like to insult you! except for that, great product!!
The workmanship of the product was excellent, and packaging for your delivery of this fragile item, a coffee mug, was appropriately safe. Nice job all around. Thank you.
It's the best mug in the history of mugs.
love it
excellent customer service. i gave the wrong address and they got it here quick.
This was easy to order although I wish the preview pics showed the next on both sides once you finish customizing. But I appreciated that if the text doesn't fit they email you and ask what you want it to say. Came out great and I can't wait to give it as a gift
it was frickin good mug i liked it it was good I have never thought of myself as someone who drinks from mugs. After I drank from this mug, I thought of myself as a mug-drinker. It was magical. My entire life changed. I didn't know what to do with myself anymore. How do you follow up a lifestyle change? I went on a long walk. About 67 miles. Once I got to the Walgreen's I realized I could've just drove. But I didn't. I'm no quitter. Not with this mug. This mug gives me power, perseverance. You want this mug. Trust me. You want this mug.

I love How I can order a cup with one of my favorite words
Well printed, the mug's ceramic is of good quality, I'm not sure what else I can add. I am surprised it could be printed and shipped so quickly based on my earlier experience printing/kiln-firing/baking this kind of product. Well done.
Sent to a friend. He loved it!
I can't stop putting weird things on the cup I love this website 😆
Purchased this for my fiancé. One night watching TV, she blurted out the word "kaputnik." We laughed so hard. Never dreamed it was an actual word. Now, we know better. LOL
Sent a mug with DABNABIT printed on it to my Grandaughter for her birthday! She absolutely was thrilled with it! This is a saying I’ve used over the years a lot & we’ve always laughed about it! Ordered myself one too!!
Best mug I've ever seen honestly
looks great, came quickly, exactly as I wanted. minor observation - the coffee mug was a bit smaller than I expected. The mug is normal size, but most of my mugs tend to be a bit larger. No matter. I still enjoy it!! Perfect would have been larger - but that I my preference.
Bought this mug as a joke, the concept of there being a "magical one" was very funny to me. Great quality, I even feel magical myself.
Perfect!!
