straight edge
It's about keeping it pure, staying true to yourself, and respecting your body. No drugs, no alcohol, no promiscuous sex. The issue of sex has become skewed and you may find people that call themselves straight edge and still have promiscuous sex. I personally have never heard of someone breaking edge because they had sex with some one. Although that does not mean I don't consider promiscuous sex part of being straight edge.That's another issue. Straight Edge originated with the band Minor Threat. Minor Threat was formed in D.C. in 1980. Ian McKaye, vocals, wrote "I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't fuck, at least I can fuckin think," In the song Out of Step which was released in early 1981 on their EP, In My Eyes. This was later coined as straight edge with a song entitled Straight Edge on Minor Threat's next self titled EP later in 1981. The term caught on throughout the D.C. punk/hardcore scene and also spread throughout Boston. Straight Edge is often abbreviated as sXe. The "X" became associated with Straight Edge because of a loop hole in laws of Washington D.C. at the time. The legal drinking age at the time was 18. Most shows were booked in clubs and bars and this posed a problem for most of the kids going to shows as they were minors. Another law in Washington at the time was that all bars must also serve food. Therefore there was no such thing as a bar in D.C. in 1980, there were only restaurants. Kids worked with bouncers and said they would put X's on their hands to symbolize that they were minors and could not drink. This eventually evolved into a symbol of Straight Edge and kids began to X up even when shows were not at bars. TRUE TIL DEATH. xJHUNTx

My order came quickly. Packaged well. Great job.
IT WAS MUG! CAME QUICK & SAID THING. HAVE NOT TASTED YET. NOT SMELL BAD, BUT DISHWASHER NONETHE LESS....
Henceforth, I am unable to leave a negative review for this amazing cup.
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
Based mug
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.
