Mount Hebron Mug
Mt. Hebron is a classic suburban high school. In a well-to-do but certainly not “rich” area of the country, Howard County, Mt. Hebron is generally viewed as a high school which caters to families with the means to send their children to private schools yet for whatever reason enjoy the stability and community of a local public high school. Mt. Hebron students, put simply, aren’t cultured. Most have lived relatively stable and nice upbringings but have never experienced different cultures or beliefs. This occurs for many reasons. One, parents of Hebron students generally aren’t from elite backgrounds. They followed the rules of the game to moderate success and are complacent with their lifestyles. Most never travel abroad or for that matter travel anywhere outside of the Eastern beaches. Two, Hebron students expect success yet do not understand what it means to be successful outside of the “Hebron paradigm.” For example, most Hebron student accept doing ok in school (aka getting good grades in honors courses), which leads them to state colleges. Henceforth, they expect that they will live the lives of their parents and friends in Ellicott City. While holy untrue for most part, this myopic view isn’t there fault; it has been ingrained in them throughout childhood in Howard County. Many Hebron students, as in almost all public high schools, don’t reach any level of academic success and end up in community colleges. These students tend to hang around the Hebron scene for years, partying nights away, going to school part-time, and working at dead-end jobs on the side. Unfortunately, the realities of life usually hit them soon enough; a fifteen dollar per hour job isn’t going to buy you the average $300,000 rancher in Ellicott City. They realize that they wasted their opportunity at Hebron to be successful. Three, Hebron students don’t understand real privilege. Most Hebron students believe that everyone is the same, which is a great utopian way of viewing the world. The commonly held view is that everyone that goes to Hebron has a car, has two parents, and will be ok in life. While it was nice to think from that perspective during high school, the reality of class and difference hits quickly after Hebron. Since nearly everyone at Hebron has a decent floor of family income, class realities are blurred. Only if one goes to an elite college and sees what it means to be from money and understand the power and prestige that comes from it will a Hebron student understand the fallacy of their beliefs about Hebron, the complacency with which they lived there high school years, and the absurdity that all students will end up ok just because they lived in Howard County and went to Hebron. While Hebron was a great place to attend high school, it isn’t the utopia that many believe it is. And finally, to the first observer, who talked about how “cool” the lacrosse team is, I have one point. Very few Hebron lacrosse players, especially on the men’s team (which isn’t all that good to be honest), will become elite actors in America, not to mention on a world level. They have neither intellectual acumen nor the social skills (cultural capital) to interact with important actors in the elite world. If someone would like to respond to any of my points, I would be happy to engage them. Additionally- my views are of the Hebron from which I graduated.

love it
one tha best mugs i have
My balls are so wet now that I have bought this item. The nut in my butt is boiling
I've had this mug for over a year now and every single day it watches while I shower. It makes me safe sometimes protects me from the voices. Other times I'm lying on the couch watching judge Judy and eating my hot pickles and the mug becomes angry I feel it approaching me with menacing aura. Next thing I know I'm pooing out pieces of ceramic. Overall, its a great mug but only if you can afford multiple colonoscopy's and extremely invasive anal procedures a year. If you have the money for that THIS IS THE MUG FOR YOU.
This mug has given me a new meaning to wake up everyday. I absolutely adore it and I don’t think my life would be the same if this mug did not exist. A gift from God, truly.
What a sexy ass mug ヾ(*’Ｏ’*)/
My daughter is a Seinfeld afficianato. She was pleasantly surprised when she opened the package with her Penske File mug. It has the definition of Penske File from the Urban dictionary. Totally worth the price!
gay mug very spicy
The Urban Dictionary is a unique place to find anecdotal memories on all sorts of stuff. Their ongoing communication once your order is placed is excellent. I have put in a significant number of orders recently, and the communication regarding my order status is excellent. I have had one order misplaced in transit. They have contacted me to say that they will get back to me, but to this point, they have not. So, that's a bit of a caveat in my rating. Overall, I would rate their products and customer service as good. I would not hesitate to deal with them in the future. Fill Your Boots with Whatever You Want to Order. Nice job, "Urban Dictionary."
Thank you for sharing this Unique piece of Artwork. You are the only one that offered this. Thank you for the quality service you have provided not only in what you offer but right on to the quality packaging as well. Thanks again - Peggy Hall
My brother Tom became an uncle & urban dictionary created a wonderful uncle Tom mug…
It is special to have a mug that has to do with my dad who invented a word when we were growing up. He passed away last year. Drinking from this mug is like spending time with him.

This mug gives my life purpose. It's what I've always said. Patience is a virtue and hard work never betrays. Ever since I was born I've been struck with one misfortune after another, but today it all paid off. I got my own mug, and I use it anywhere and whenever I can! Both of my legs are shattered because to my wife threw me in the middle of traffic and my windpipe is messed up due to me screaming all the way from the crash site to the hospital thanks to the unbearable pain I was feeling. Although even with all that's happened this is still the best day of my life. I suppose the only problem I have is that whenever I happen to look at my cup I get a little too happy. That causes problems because my life support can't handle my exhilaration, haha! I'm just kidding; that was just a little lighthearted joke of mine. I actually cannot afford life support because I spent all of my life savings on this fine piece of pottery. Not to worry though! I can get through the pain with my will and drugs - I mean medication. P.S. There are definitely no ghosts in the mugs. Just wanted to point that out in case someone was worried about that.
I bought two mugs as gifts for coworkers and they were very pleased. The print was clear and concise. Hopefully they last a long time.
Ordered a gift for a friend I hope he likes it :)
