jump the broom
"Jumping the broom" is an informal marriage or "partnership." It comes from peasant or gypsy marriages before the idea of a "civil marriage" (going before a justice of the peace to vow marriage oaths) came about in Britain with the Marriage Act 1836 - as an alternative to a church marriage. The concept started in France as <i>mariage sur le croix d'un epee</i> ("marriage on the cross of a sword") which a maudit anglais (Englishman) translated from a French book as "leaping over a broomstick." The original concept comes from ancient military weddings - when a soldier marries one of the women who hung around soldiers back in the day: "A sword being laid down on the ground, the parties to be married joined hands, when the corporal or serjeant of the, company repeated these words: <b>Leap rogue, and jump whore, And then you are married for evermore.</b> Whereupon the happy couple jumped hand in hand over the sword, the drum beating a ruffle; and the parties were ever after considered as man and wife." My old Cajun stepdad took me aside after I brought the girl I just proposed marriage to home to meet him and Mama, and asked "You can't just go jump the broom?", so I'm here to tell you this expression is for real and old farts like him were still using it.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Just what I expected. Merchandise looked just like it did online. Showed my friends and even they loved the cup! Plan on ordering more merchandise from you guys. Thanks. KLDS
Astounding Mug. I found this Mug in a dark time, the time when I needed a mug the most. I went onto google.net and found this truly amazing piece of craftsmanship. Manny Heffley came out of my computer and started to gyrate, before hopping out completely and eating my asshole. It felts so good, I started shaking and moaning, rapidly convulsing on the floor. Manny Heffley slowly crawled into my, hiding in my womb in order to store his power for 12 months and evolve to the form of "Baby 2". Thank you, Urban Dictionary. This mug changed my life.
Looks great and quick delivery
very good quality, wasn’t broken or anything and was a good gag gift !
I gave it to her today. And she loved it said it was her to the T
The Printing wasn't very sharp, but it's good enough.
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
