MEBID Mug
Middle East Born International Desis are South Asians that grew up in the Middle East or non-western International locales like the far East. A larger concentration of MEBIDs originates from the Gulf Arab states (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, and UAE) than other countries simply because a large number of families moved to those countries during the 70's and 80's for better economic opportunities. Although "born" is part of the label, it is not a requirement to have been born outside of South Asia. One can be born in South Asia and as long as a majority of someone's childhood is spent growing up in the Middle East or other locales (as long as it's not the west or South Asia), one is considered to be a MEBID. Although individual experiences differ greatly, MEBIDs typically went to an international school wherever they were growing up. As a result, this gives MEBIDs an air of international sophistication, aka "being cultured", simply because they were exposed to diversity from the time they were born. Another typical life experience shared by MEBIDs is going to a boarding school as early as the 10th grade because schools close to their parents didn't offer higher grades. Growing up with exposure to different nationalities, living away from parents at a very young age, and sharing much with South Asian FOBs and ABCDs, yet being so different from them, has resulted in a truly unique subset of Desis.

Great customer service and was a fun surprise for an inside joke to a coworker. 😊
Nice cup! Seems to be a quality piece.
This mug reminds me of when I was happy. When I was a wee little winker enjoying the wonders of this life!
The, "Wenomechainsama" Mug has amazing quality and an amazing definition! Can't belive my child's generation is so funny! Love - Sharen, 55, On facebook !<3
this mug reminds me of my cat, it does nothing and cant pour me a nice cup of joe. It is horrible, it doesn't tell nor does it allow me sip on it. It stops me from drinking from it, its like the mug is trying to torture me.
love this mug! Goes perfect with the Morbius meal.
Had no idea my name had a definition!!
Bought for an inside joke. Perfect.
i love the schizophrenia mug its amazing
This cute mug reminded me of a quote from an obscure biography I found quite by accident in a tiny hole-in-the-wall 2nd hand shop in Portland, ME in 1987: 'The Life and Times of Lazarus of Bethany'. Quote: " We are all walking wounded held together by the scars of our forbearance and the charity of our sisters and brothers." Truer words have never been said.
Love it . Its me down to a T
unlike most mug customization, you can say whatever the fuck you want. Bravo!
i liked that the mug had my name on it and a funny definition, i will definitely buy some for my friends(with their names of course).
I bought it as sort of a gag gift for my son and his new girlfriend and they loved it
I haven't even bought it, it smells nice
nice quality, vivid image
What's funny is the saying that everyone searched for is the one that popped up on the cup. So all the weird gross sayings that people are commenting on are completely out of context to everyone seeing their comment.
I would buy a morbillion of these mugs.
