podunk
a phrase for a small or rural town that was popularized by the movie "The French Connection" in 1971, starring Gene Hackman. The film was about a drug smuggling operation that had french connections in mid-state New York. This was all based on actual happenings and the small, rural town known as Poughkeepsie was the actual setting in both real life and in the movie. Countless times in the movie, they used slang phrases such as "podunk" or "pough town" to describe the area. Today, the phrases have caught on with many individuals and spread throughout many states and towns all across America. By being spread through word of mouth, many people lost the true meaning of podunk and did not even realize it was originally used and first created for Poughkeepsie. The town of Poughkeepsie and city has now become less rural and more developed. Surrounding towns have all been overcrowded by many people coming from the suburbs of NYC due to the ripple effect. Too many people work in the city and live just outside of it, so they move a little bit farther out to escape the high density living. Even though Poughkeepsie may not even count as a podunk town anymore, it should always be credited for inspiring the popular phrase.

Ordering was very easy and the delivery to a different address then the billing address was done effortlessly with complete correct order. Was delivered before estimated date which was very exciting. Good job well done by all.
Funny stuff! I wish the mugs cost a bit less, I'd buy more. There's an almost unlimited supply of clever slang.
awesome. came just as ordered.
Nice cup a few words were darker than the rest. But ok
아주 좋은 머그잔 나는 죽은 아버지를 위해 시원한 머그잔을 얻었고 매우 자랑스러워했습니다.
I like the mug, it’s good quality, unfortunately the customization wasn’t correct. I got the “juff” mug and instead of the definition i had a quote from one of my friends as a bit, but it just came with the definition. I’ll still give it to him because the joke still works but I am a little disappointed.
Love the fact that Urban dictionary came up with such an accurate and quick meaning for Binger! Mug was a little pricy but God is my morning coffee so much better in this mug!!
This mug is incredible! It was a great gift for my friend named Jacob, who is definitely gay. (Even though he says he isn't 🙄)
Great mug, she loved it
I'm in a Spanish-speaking practice group, and the phrase "Ajo y Agua" came up, meaning, (more or less) "If you f***ed up, deal with it." (It's a long story, how "Garlic and Water" means this, but that's the fun of it.) Anyway, the Urban Dictionary site with the mug popped up on Google (reading my mind, as always) so I bought one as a gift. It's not cheap as mugs go, but I'm happy to say the mug is VERY good quality, looks exactly as it does online, and is packed in the most securely designed mug-transport box I've ever seen. You can't break it in shipping or reshipping! Also it arrived in just a few days. I recommend this product highly.
i like mug that say words
I purchased the eggplant color cup for my friend, purple is her favorite color and she loves her special cup, she cooks a lot, so I had Itis with Iris put on one side of the cup and the meaning on the other side because when she cooks that how everyone feels afterwards!! Thanks UD Diana K.
