punn Mug
Punn: (v) to punch, hit, or strike Derivation: The word punn itself is thought to be originally a contraction of the (now archaic) pundigrion. This latter term is thought to have originated from punctilious, which itself derived from the Italian puntiglio (originally meaning "a fine point"), diminutive of punto, "point", from the Latin punctus, past participle of pungere, "to prick." Modern Use: The word today is used in slang, especially on the streets of major East Coast cities. Use of the word is often a sign that violence may break out as it's connotation is much more severe than punching and refers to not just a hit but a destructive blow. Unfortunately, suburban teens and college students have re-popularized this term, decreasing the power of this word. The word “punn” is used as a pun for “pun”. For example:<br> Person 1: “If you show me a piano falling down a mineshaft and I'll show you A-flat minor.”<br> Person 2:”I should punn you for that pun!” History: The first and only large exposure of the word to the mainstream media happened during the 1989 "Greekfest" riots of 1989 in the city of Virginia Beach, VA. Much of the rioting simply looting due to vacationing college students being made unwelcome by the city, however several instances of related violence were a result of gang rivalries that broke out in the chaos. One instance was caught on camera with two opposing males verbally threatening each other. In this instance "punn" was used as a verb and footage was aired on several local news channels. In 1991 the word was once again broadcast on WJLA Washington during the Mount Pleasant riot in Washington DC. This instance showed that the use of the word was spreading along the east coast (Washington DC is located 200 miles from Virginia Beach) and was also seen by many more viewers. As a result the word's popularity skyrocketed and was sometimes seen throughout the early 1990's. It was used in the 1995 hit movie Top Dog starring Chuck Norris. Since that time the use has dwindled. Although never a very popular insult, it's use was very powerful in regions where the term was well known (much more than even strong vulgarities).

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 :)

My Name is Walter Hardwell White, My Mug was sent to 308 Negra Aroyal Lane, AQ, New Mexico and arrived on-time and I am very satisfied. My "Glock Dookie" mug is great for my lab work, and my friend Pinkman loves it!
I love this cup! My now ex-husband loves his opioids more than life itself. He would constantly pass out dead to the world the only thing I would here was his death moans. I had to call an aid car for him so many time that I can't remember plus 2 or 3 times the doctors told me that if it wasn't for me, he would have died. Her abandoned me after I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer because I was of no use to him any longer. I have no clue now who must be the one that's obligated to save his life any longer. All I know is I'm free from him now. The only thing I'm waiting for is that he finally overdoses himself & he's dead. I am buying a cup to send to him for our divorce anniversary gift so he can keep it in memory of how he treated me.
I loved it! Excellent quality!
I received the mug as a gift from a friend with whom I exchange "Weekaversary" eMails. I love the concept but am wondering why "aniversary" is spelled with only one "n?"
Wish it had the example text as well, but I loved it anyway
It’s great to be able to create your own mug.
