sphinx
The sphinx is a limestone/rock structure located in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. It consists of a lions' body and the head of King Khafra. Until 1926 only the head could be seen above ground, until a French-led team excavated the area revealing the entire statue. However, since it has been exposed to both the desert air and pollution from poorly drained 300,000 populous tourist city nearby the condition has declined greatly. The head is expected to fall within 200 years, and it is being eaten away at a rate of 1/5th of an inch per year. Since it was built the sphinx has been under constant maintenance, although the decline of the conquerors of Egypt, the Romans left it to gather dust after withdrawal from Egypt. Both the Romans and the Greeks however did make good efforts to rebuild the crumbling outer of the sphinx. This differs from the industrial-hardcore-and-cement methods used in 1981 by a hasty group of investors. The supreme council of antiquities has since commissioned skilled labourers to do the work properly; using the same methods as were originally used. The 1981 attempt resulted in repair sections simply falling away, and further eroding the inner beast with high salt adhesives. Ideas for saving the battered head include a steel pole being driven through to the neck. There was a beard added in the eighteenth dynasty, although this fell off, and the fragments are scattered among private collections and museums. The largest chunk is approx. 1/13th of the beard located in London. The nose of the sphinx is missing, and the face badly damaged. Contrary to popular myth, the nose was not knocked off by French in the Napoleonic wars, or by the British in WWI. Photographs show the nose being missing long before WWI, and accounts of the face being in present state predate the Napoleonic wars by half a millennia. Riddle of the sphinx: What has 4 legs in the morning 2 legs in the afternoon and 3 legs at night?
The Urban Dictionary Mug
It’s a great way to store my pencils.
I used this instead of condoms It didn’t work and now my nephew is my son
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.
Wanted to try these guys out to see if they delivered and how it'd go. Went great. Got two mugs within 7 days, unharmed, printed well. THANK YOU

I have a “gift” for plathering. The definition is right on. Can’t wait to have a cup of coffee across the table from my guy who will TOTALLY get it.

Hello, I am here to present if this is a real rating system or not. If you are reading this it's a true rating system. But if this doesn't make it, urban dictionary, I know what you are doing.
