Foregone conclusion
This phrase is commonly used in Sporting circles where there is no doubt about the final outcome of an event before it has even taken place. There are some very rare occasions where the professed ‘conclusion’ doesn’t work out according to plan, one occasion was in Japan (Feb 1990) when Mike Tyson predicted his knock-out of Buster Douglas. Even more famously, the memorable phrase was announced in Carnoustie during the Bus Pushers 2015 tour when Casey (3rd Runner-up on the Wicklow Hurling team of the Millennium) was heard to declare that the next day’s team event was going to be won by the Greenkeepers and the result was a foregone conclusion. Despite the reasonable start with a 6 pointer on the first hole, Casey’s previous days confidence soon evaporated with a couple of 3 pointers and an even more impressive 2 pointer on the 5th hole. By the time they got to the turn his embarrassed teammates were hoping that the opposition would decide not to play the back-nine so that the ill-advised declaration may still have a chance of coming true. Alas it was not to be, the greenkeepers final score was a full 11 points behind the winners total of 86 points. No-one can be bothered to remember who actually won that day but the resounding chorus of Foregone conclusion was heard being chanted from the winners room until 9pm when Tony went to bed. The tale of the golfing foregone conclusion is still being discussed in Scottish golf clubs to the present day.

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

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.
