KoC
In almost every chatroom, one individual is quickly and informally identified as the “slowest” member of the community. This is individual is commonly referred to as the “KoC.” The origin of the term is unclear. It may be derived from a psychological term. It may be an acronym. In any event, its use has become more prevalent over the past few years. Many in the chatroom are tolerant and spend a good portion of the chat each day explaining relatively simple concepts to the KoC. Others are less tolerant of the amount of time required to provide “remedial chat” since it detracts from the flow of conversation, i.e. “dumbs down” the chat. An interesting aspect of this situation is the KoC will usually not recognize the mocking and insults of the less tolerant chatters. If recognized, the KoC will dismiss criticism as a function something other than his/her own individual characteristics, e.g. people are exhibiting racism, sexism, and/or elitism toward him/her. Similarly, the situation is complicated because the KoC is usually unaware of his/her shortcomings and pretends to be more intellectually skilled and/or educated than is actually the case. This is obvious to all in the chatroom except the KoC. One implication is frequently the domination of the conversation by the KoC. Often, the quality of the conversation and attendance of the chatroom suffers as a result. In spite or because of his/her limitations, the KoC is often opinionated. The KoC will often adopt bizarre position on issues such as defending or minimizing rape, pedophilia, and animal cruelty. On it’s face, this appears to be an attention getting mechanism but familiarity with a KoC reveals, these positions are sincerely held and are more likely the result of substantial intellectual deficits and associated deficits in social skills and language. However, the unevenness of development across areas suggests an acute event, e.g. brain injury, rather than garden-variety mental retardation. Since these problems (disabilities) are readily apparent to the chat group, members are often sympathetic, even when the KoC remarks, other members of the group are “boring.” This pity sometimes results in members defending the KoC even when he/she adopts significantly maladjusted and ridiculous position such as “sex is gross.” However, some members can not help involuntarily spitting on the screen when encountering such odd notions expressed by an adult. The author believes a KoC should be gently counseled into joining more appropriate chatrooms. However, the author also recognizes, chatrooms are usually not designed to provide the therapy and remedial assistance that would benefit a KoC. In addition, a more “intellectually appropriate” chatroom may needlessly expose young children to a possibly dangerous individual.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
I bought this mug for my daughter for Valentine’s Day. She saw the different descriptions of her name on your site, and read every one of them!! She then found a mug with everything written about her name on it. So, I am surprising her with it. The mug looks great. Quick delivery!
I live in a Hillbilly Condo & love my flamingo pink mug.
Annie from the customer service team helped me out tremendously with some adjustments that I wanted done after my order was placed. I really appreciate her willingness to go above and beyond for my request. The product was received exactly how I wanted it! One happy customer over here. Thanks!
I love the item I ordered but found the website a little difficult to navigate.
Now this has been my favourite mug by far. I put the word of scrunkly on it just as i had envisioned. Now to know why i picked a scrunkly mug, we need to go back all the way to the year of 2016. It was a day like no other, the birds were tweeting. We were all laughing while playing in the playground. Then came that fateful moment. A cackle was heard screeching throughout the lands. I turned my head in complete and utter fear. Two seagulls stood there. One was cackling while a red liquid dropped from its mouth. The head of the seagull next to it was missing. The seagull had consumed its friend's head! A betrayal, no... a parley even! To this day I still hear the words which left that evil beast's beak. It said, "Awww, the scrunkly". It then flew off into the sunset, leaving nothing but chaos and carnage behind. Anyways 10/10 for the mug. Would buy again.
Came in like ordered, solid mug
The mug arrived as shown and expected. But, it is an average mug and the cost is quite high. It's funny and good as a one time gift. If we needed several, the cost would be prohibited. Again, funny product and as expected.
Love it. I can't wait to give it as a gift yo
This is lafayetti yummi yum yum Oui oui mon ami je m'appelle lafayette The lancelot of the revolutionary set I came from afar just to say "Bonsoir" Tell the king "Casse toi" Who's the best C'est moi

Henceforth, I am unable to leave a negative review for this amazing cup.
Good quality, just as pictured. Very pleased with it!
Having my first cup of coffee in the new cup. Good idea to add new terms through individual contributions.
10/10 Looks exactly like the preview. Shipping was fast.
This is for my granddaughter whom I used to call cutie patootie until she found out another meaning for patootie. Then she didn’t like the name so much! This will be a perfect gift for her! She is 16.
Love the cups :) It reminds us of our sweet momma. I thought everyone knew the word "mommicked" but evidently it is an Eastern North Carolina thing...My sisters and I all married Northerner/ Yankees and they had never heard of the word. Thank you for a tender memory.
Cup came in one piece and looks as nice as it does in the picture! Only note is just be mindful of any typos in the description of the definition, they will show up on the cup too! Other than that, no complaints!
