gay vague
Ambiguous portrayal in media of someone's sexuality, which may or may not be gay. Straight audiences may miss it but LGBTQ+ audiences may see it that way. First coined in 1997 by Michael Wilke, a reporter for trade publication Advertising Age, who wrote about a Volkswagen Golf commercial that aired during the much-publicized, April 1997 coming-out episode of "Ellen" (watched by 42 million viewers). It was known for the "Da Da Da" song and featured two young men who could be boyfriends or roommates that find a used chair to take home in their hatchback. Volkswagen claimed it didn't intend to hint that the guys were gay but it was okay if audiences read it that way -- a first for advertisers in that era. Later, Subaru stealthily ran billboards featuring LGBTQ+-coded license plates that said "XENA-LVR," a reference to the 1995-2001 show "Xena: Warrior Princess," which had a cult status within the lesbian community, and "P-TOWNIE," which refers to Provincetown, Massachusetts, a popular destination for the queer community. The license plates would only stand out to those in the know. According to Mulryan/Nash Advertising that produced the ads, they were intended to reach general audiences as well as provide a coded outreach to LGBTQ+ audiences with a wink and a nod.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
It was a surprise gift for someone and she absolutely loved it!
This was sent as a gift to my grandson, who lives in another state, so I never saw it. However I asked him as follows: "Just checking ... their request for a review shows an aquamarine mug ... it was supposed to be purple (eggplant, they called it). Was it purple?" Then he said: "It was purple! And thank you I love it haha Sent from my iPhone"
Shipment arrived quickly and in great condition. I know my custom mug will be a crowd pleaser when my girlfriend opens it up for Xmas.
Soaking is my favorite activity, glad I got a mug for it 😙
It DIDNT break :D
so happy you were able to put my unique word "Obergrossescheinehund" onto the new yellow mug. The yellow mug and black print make it easy for the words to be seen.
This is made by my friend i love it
Imagine not buying one of these. 🤢🗑🤡= non-buyer. Couldn't be me. 😎
It was the best thing I could have asked for
I mollywopped someone with it and it didn’t break. Nice
Product was as advertised and arrived pretty quickly too! The person loved their gift!
The "Pink Flamingo" colour with white text on a pink background is the best selection for this fine phrase mug. May I suggest you also correct the misspelling of "delightfully" in the default option for a timeless gift.
As always, a great gift.
It looks great. I couldn't have been happier
It’s a mug I would never find in a souvenir shop. I’m a legend in my own home.
I am very please with the mug. Thank you!

Was very happy with the customer service team when I had a question. They responded to my email quickly. The mug looks really cool, makes me laugh every time I use it and high quality. I’m in love with it. Thanks!
Haylee My name is haylee sullivan and the mug is describes everything about me and i would rate it at a 5 100% it is awesome
I’m right handed and would’ve liked it better if the handle was on right side with name facing forward instead of having verbiage facing front
