Gorilla
The word "gorilla" is used metaphorically to signify a guerrillero (a guerrilla warrior), but when translated from Spanish into English, it creates a seemingly rational connection despite the underlying irrationality of the words and context. This happens because "gorilla" and "guerrilla" are homophones in English (they sound alike), even though they have completely different origins—gorilla referring to the animal and guerrilla meaning small-scale, unconventional warfare. The confusion or intentional play on words arises when gorilla is used as a symbol, subtly distorting revolutionary identity. Freud’s theories, particularly on the id, ego, and superego, suggest that this manipulation skews the working class’s perception of power. Instead of embracing a raw revolutionary force (id), they engage with an altered symbol that aligns more with the superego—a controlled, rationalized version of class struggle that ultimately benefits the elite. The additional layer of irrationality comes from external social or political factors—perhaps propaganda, prejudice, or the way language evolves to justify certain biases. This irrationality, paradoxically, makes the term feel rational or natural in discourse, even when it's built on a shaky foundation.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
This was purchased as a gift , and it describes the recipient perfectly . It arrived sooner than expected, and I am very impressed with the quality .
The mug I ordered was exactly as described on the site. The shipping was fast as well. I will buy from these people again.
Cute mug, arrived promptly in great condition. I like how you can choose background color & change wording. Will feel cheerful when drinking my coffee in this :)
Heavenly Mug This mug has been sent from the heavens. I'm too broke to buy it. But one day... I will. I will be mugged, dammit!
Why am I here? I don't know how I got here, but I can't stop writing weird things on the cup...😅 Help me. I have a test to study for. A family. Also, if I wasn't broke I would buy 10,000 of these mugs. They look highly entertaining. Love this website, and I probably will fail the test. 🙃
I took time designing it but wasn't sure, online tools being what they are, that what I was seeing was for sure what I'd get. Very much appreciated the customer service communication which verified that what I'd designed was what I wanted, and the shipping was quick too.
Item came on time as promised
Came within a week and it's exactly what I ordered, my friend will love it!
Sus cup I bought the sus mug for the sus king Daequan
Good quality, packaging shipped well, arrived quickly.
My mug came in broken but Urban Dictionary replaced it at no extra charge!
Excellent mug excellent service
this is the best for coffee and hot coco especially if you make the hot coco in it then pour it on your significant other and do body shots 😋🥱
I can pass away peacefully. This mug is everything I’ve ever needed and more. Fat thank you, Urban Dictionary. <3
I was really excited to receive this mug and when it did come it was perfect quality. My only complaint is that the color I choose was green teal but it came in yellow.
As always, easy to order and not-too-long of a wait for the finished product to arrive. It’s well-printed, and very sturdy. A great gag present for wedding party members.
The mug , color and saying are perfect! PMEO is what I say at work everyday. It has become a favorite saying for my coworkers when things go haywire!
Quality and style are outstanding relative to price point.
Love it! It is my favorite mug. Easy to hold because of its shape and weight. Now my go-to mug.
My wife is truly beautiful and this cup was perfect for her.
