Hopewell is Pimp, Yo mug
"Hopewell is pimp, yo" is the unofficial slogan for the town of Hopewell Valley, New Jersey. It was created in the spring of 2005 when high school senior Scotty Orr wore a sweatshirt proclaiming, "Ithaca is gangster" into class. Fellow senior Jon Bershad saw this and, sick of hearing all his fellow classmates talk about how excited they were to go to college and leave Hopewell in the dust, decided to instill a little home town pride in people. Bershad went home and made a t-shirt online which said simply "Hopewell is pimp, yo.". The shirt came a week later and Bershad was prepared to wear it in the annual Mr. Hoval contest. Unfortunately, a suspension from school got him kicked out of the show. Undaunted he wore it to school the day he got back. The faculty was not really sure whether the slogan was provocative or not ("I don't get it, are you implying we have some kind of prostitution ring in the town"). So as to nip any potential problems in the bud, they told him to change immediately on the grounds that the shirt was offensive to women. Bershad got his revenge, however. He found a new website and set up an online shop to sell the shirts. They started selling immediately and were soon banned on school grounds by the administration. This only made them sell harder, and to this day the slogan is sold on shirts, hoodies, bumper stickers, mugs, and even the occasional thong underwear.

Damonism and #Stolen Valor Coffee Mug These coffee mugs are rugged, solid, high quality and keep the liquids hotter, longer. The definitions of both mugs are spot-on! I will definitely by more. Great work Urban Dictionary!
why is this a real thing? AND YA'LL ACTING LIKE IT'S NORMAL!?
I really like the mug, but I thought I had ordered the all pink one. What came was a white with a block of pink with "Fubar" written on it.
the only reason why i care about humanity this mug is the reason why i believe humanity deserves a second chance, even after they blaspheme my name. this mug is the greatest thing i've ever seen and i have ordered many of them. this mug replaces the holy grail. the bible should've told about the wonderful deeds of the mug and how it saved humanity from my wrath. alas, whilst the laws keep me from tampering with human minds and altering holy objects like the bible, i can only pass on my message: "spread the news and buy this mug!"
Its.. omg, its............. AMAZING AMAZING OMG ITS SOOO GOOD

Love that I got an Urban Dictionary word definition from someone I know! So much fun and great memory item!! 😊
I like it but it took a long time getting here
Very basic mug but does the trick!
The mug is of good quality but advertisement needs to change as the sample photo for ordering gives the customer an illusion that the entire mug is of that color ordered when it is not
