in the barrel
This refers to an unpleasant experience, often involving physical or verbal assaults from other people. This is often used in the expression "(one's) time in the barrel" or "turn in the barrel", with the implication that other persons have to go through this experience as well, and now it is one's own turn. This expression has apparently been frequently used by persons in the armed services, for example: - used of US troops in Viet Nam under a long artillery siege - used by astronauts to refer to press appearances and conferences, which they disliked - used by a veteran of the Australian Navy to refer to sexual assaults and harassment of newer recruits Other uses (including uses in fiction) have included being in jail, being investigated by the police, working the front desk at an FBI office, being subject to academic criticism, facing difficult audiences on the country music circuit, and having one's stolen emails exposed to public view. The origin of this expression is not clear. A person born in southern Indiana in 1922 reported that when he was a child, a game called "your turn in the barrel" involved one child standing in a barrel while the other children stood in a circle around him attempting to hit him by throwing dirt, fruit, and the like. There is a "joke" about sailors taking turns in a barrel providing sexual gratification to their entire company, but this may postdate the term.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
YOIT Ligma balls bitch. YOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTT
What is there to say? It's a mug, with a word in front and the definition in back. Nicely done!
This will be the perfect gift this winter! It even came in a nice little box. The mug seems to be of good quality. It was a bit pricy, got to be honest, but it’ll be very well received.
Deathless but probably comatose verse This cup is a beautiful mug From which I am happy to chug while engaging in jomo (the obverse of fomo), and pulling the ol' cyber plug.
The mug is just the right size, and the graphics are awesome!
This mug... this mug gave me a feeling that I can only describe as pure euphoria. The 'MRI - Man's a Real Idiot' mug is truly a gift from above. I cannot express how happy I am with it. When it arrived at my front door, it was a moment of epiphany for myself. My eyes were opened. I understood what was missing in my life... and it was that very mug. Whoever created it is truly gifted. I bless them. You too could purchase it, although the price may seem high at first, for what it is, it is the greatest deal one could ever make.
Would have like the entire cup with purple color. Not just the part with the slogan. It's a nice cup!
Wow! Outstanding mug! I strive to be swoogish one day
It was fantastic very good quality.
Was purchased as a gift . Very well received . Easy ordering . Arrived earlier than predicted.excellent quality. Would recommend to friends and family and will definitely order again in the future.
The mug I ordered came in perfect shape In a box obviously designed for safe shipping. Quality is beautiful and is exactly as described. Thank you!
ABSOLUTE ART WORK!!!!! This is literally the best mug in the world. My entire family has one (wife, 2 daughters, and 3 sons). I would definitely recommend and place it as a mounoment.
Hilarious, I couldn't help but burst out loud in laughter.... !!!
It understands me. this mug has treated me better than any girl i've ever dated, and every bro i've chilled in the same bed with. we've been though thick and thin, but mostly thicc. i used to be depressed, but now this mug holds my existential fears so i dont need to carry them with me. i even wrote a song about my mug: mary had a little mug, e-i-e-i-o how i wonder what you are, floppy dongs near and far, cherri had a real thicc mug, e-i-e-i-despaci-to
Great mug, 100% recommend it for all family members! Best gift I’ve ever received!!!
It was so easy to order - and I could play with the syntax of the definition to get it just right. All of this was easy. And quite soon it arrived and is perfect.
Love it!! So true!!
I love 💕 mugs ☘️! These are so lovable. Thanks! I love the urban dictionary writers too.
The printing, the Word and it's definition -- were not quite what I expected. And the same word definition ordered on two different mugs, and yet each was described / defined differently.
Augustine would love the mis-spelling It should be Augustine's Laws. A great book - every engineer, programmer, project and programme manager should read. Based on experience of Defence and Space projects, and with lots of real data to support the tongue-in-cheek advice, it really has more value than all the System Engineering books I've never read. Can't wait to get a mug.
