prep
Derived from the word preppy which attained popular usage in the 1980's, but with earlier origins dating as far back as the 1950's. Originally a reference to a person who might attend preparatory school; usually a young person born to a wealthy or well-to-do family; a WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant). By the 1980's it was used primarily to define a social clique among young people who dressed in a very prim and polished way, wearing for example Polo branded shirts with upturned collars, white slacks by Ralph Lauren, and boating shoes by Sperry. Owing to the fact that 90% of all preppies were neither wealthy (in the strict definition), headed for preparatory school, or accomplished sailors, preppy quickly gained a wider usage as a derogatory term more akin to poser or poseur. It is now representative of a young person who is very badly informed, and who, due to low self-esteem and a dodgy American education system, quickly falls prey to modern mainstream marketing practices and gladly shells out his or her parent's hard-earned dollars for items of little or no intrinsic value in the false hope that it will bring them popularity amongst their peers. They are the crass consumers of the 21st century, and a hard target for a large percentage of America's advertising dollars. They are inclined to choose clothing by brand rather than fit, style, or economic prudence, and are willing to pay a premium for outfits designed and sold by clothing companies that adhere to a strict, elitist, and above market-value pricing policy, such as Abercrombie & Fitch or Hollister Co.. They are more likely to be Republican, and will often seek salvation as hard-line Christians in later life, owing to the many failures they will suffer on the road to adulthood, and discoveries that "growing up" does not automatically confer upon them competence, accomplishment, or overflowing bank accounts, as their childish fantasies once led them to believe.

Exactly as I ordered it. Shipping was perfect, got updates, accurate date of delivery, and no damage. This is a gift for my little brother.
i was put on a list for buying this mug. 10/10 would recommend
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.
