Holmes
"Holmes" (L is not silent) is the correct Ebonics pronunciation which has a history of being used equivalently with, "dude", "guy", "man" or similar non-familiar alternatives not in the third person. It was made popular in late 60s East Coast slang, and then later devolved into, "homes" (silent L) at which point it was incorrectly assumed to be short for, "homeboy". "Homeboy" is typically expressed as a familiar, friendly term often in the third person. Unlike homeboy, holmes can be used in a variety of ways to denote friendship, aggressiveness, or dubious curiousity.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Your company did an excellent job with our order. The beautiful mug with our son's word and definitions arrived in perfect shape, thanks to your outstanding box design! I have never seen a box so cleverly made. I cannot bring myself to recycle it;). The mug will be enjoyed for years to come. Many Thanks, Deborah Crosley Holland and Michael Holland
Got this mug for my daughter and she was taken a back. I explained to her why it was funny, but she didn't seem to understand. Its been a few days since my daughter has talked to me. I'm positive she loves it! I'm hoping to hear from her soon :)
Arrived before my daughter’s birthday, which was good. Not chipped or cracked, so that was good, too. Ichabod Crane looked good on the ferra color.
Looks great. Made a cool gift. Quick shipping!
