macguffin
A plot device that motivates the characters and advance the story, particularly one whose importance is accepted completely by the story's characters, yet from the audience's perspective it might be minimally explained or may test their suspension of disbelief if it is scrutinized. The device, usually an object, is common in films, especially thrillers. It is important that the audience never actually see the MacGuffin. I dunno why. The term "MacGuffin" was invented by Alfred Hitchcock; according to the Oxford English Dictionary, he explained the term in a 1939 lecture at Columbia University: In regard to the tune, we have a name in the studio, and we call it the 'MacGuffin'. It is the mechanical element that usually crops up in any story. In crook stories it is always the necklace and in spy stories it is always the papers.

My order came quickly. Packaged well. Great job.
IT WAS MUG! CAME QUICK & SAID THING. HAVE NOT TASTED YET. NOT SMELL BAD, BUT DISHWASHER NONETHE LESS....
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!
This reminds me of the amazing teams i worked in!
great experience, with fast delivery. Thank you!
my grandma loved it!

Based mug
This mug makes me happy :) reminds me of so many funny high school memories!
The mug came quickly and we love it!
These mugs are always good. I usually choose the neon green!
The mug is pretty and the writing on it is clear. It is of good quality and it makes me smile.
Well madder nice print. 8 0z cup. I'd prefer a mug but will be ordering 3 more. Just my cuppa tea (or coffee). Americans always make fun of some of the things I say. Recently my brother and I were talking about the Trawna Maple Leafs. I decided to look it up and sure enough there is was Trawna the city I grew up in. Now who has the last laugh.
I ordered pink but got purple, and the text wasn't very clean, but overall, it is a mug.
