Shopherding Mug
Verb - The act of using subliminal verbal and physical techniques to steer a person or partner towards the checkouts in a shop to prevent a prolonged and boring shopping experience. If practiced and mastered the art of shopherding can save hours of walking round in shops after people. The successful shopherder knows his art and will begin before any shop has even been entered. Techniques are varied, performing a fart and dart and then moving towards the checkouts will cause the target to join you close to the tills, perhaps bringing about payment and thus victory. However, this can cause so much disgust that the period of time within the shop may be extended by the target as revenge. If this happens further shopherding efforts must be more subtle to avoid suspicion. A favourite among master shopherders is the technique of placing oneself in the centre of the targets field of vision as she looks round the shop to distract her and coupling this with a focused and interested stare towards something near the checkouts, redirecting her attention that way. Punishment for being discovered a shopherder is serious, the techniques will no longer affect the target and the disgraced shopherder will be forced to wonder around countless shops for hours, cursing his own lack of skill or bad luck. The path of a shopherder is frought with perils but the pride of succeeding is surpassed by the prizes that victory holds.

Good quality, just as pictured. Very pleased with it!
Having my first cup of coffee in the new cup. Good idea to add new terms through individual contributions.
10/10 Looks exactly like the preview. Shipping was fast.
This is for my granddaughter whom I used to call cutie patootie until she found out another meaning for patootie. Then she didn’t like the name so much! This will be a perfect gift for her! She is 16.
Love the cups :) It reminds us of our sweet momma. I thought everyone knew the word "mommicked" but evidently it is an Eastern North Carolina thing...My sisters and I all married Northerner/ Yankees and they had never heard of the word. Thank you for a tender memory.
Cup came in one piece and looks as nice as it does in the picture! Only note is just be mindful of any typos in the description of the definition, they will show up on the cup too! Other than that, no complaints!
This reminds me of the amazing teams i worked in!
great experience, with fast delivery. Thank you!
my grandma loved it!
My grandma is HOOKED

This mug makes me happy :) reminds me of so many funny high school memories!
The mug came quickly and we love it!
These mugs are always good. I usually choose the neon green!
The mug is pretty and the writing on it is clear. It is of good quality and it makes me smile.
Well madder nice print. 8 0z cup. I'd prefer a mug but will be ordering 3 more. Just my cuppa tea (or coffee). Americans always make fun of some of the things I say. Recently my brother and I were talking about the Trawna Maple Leafs. I decided to look it up and sure enough there is was Trawna the city I grew up in. Now who has the last laugh.
I ordered pink but got purple, and the text wasn't very clean, but overall, it is a mug.
