Sugar Shack
According to the song, 'Sugar Shack' (1962 by Keith McCormack and Jimmy Torres), it is what "everybody calls" a certain beatnik hang-out. It's hard to say what the writers intention was, other than to evoke a kind of hip vibe to a rather pedestrian love song. "Shack" is a nickname that was used for any kind of eatery, especially a roadside restaurant that might have a limited menu, like 'taco shack', 'burger shack', 'hotdog shack'; literally, a 'sugar shack' would sell sugar. At the time 'Sugar' was also drug slang for heroin, perhaps because of it's white color. In the song, the singer is infatuated with a 'girlie' who is a waitress in leotards and barefoot, who works at a shabby coffeehouse located 'beyond the tracks', suggesting a seedy area. Heroin addicts at the time were known to frequent coffee houses rather than bars (because alcohol and heroin can lead to death from decreased heart rate). But it is unlikely that the writer was trying to disguise a heroin reference, but rather use the name as an all-knowing, hipster nod to the drug world. The use of the name in this way would be ironic -as a knowing (perhaps derogatory) term for a hang-out that also happened to attract heroin users, even though the management and help might merely be indifferent or tolerant of those addicts who had a natural attraction to such a place, just like cockroaches are drawn to a dirty sink.

I LOVE GETTING THE FUCKING MUG
The wife absolutely loved it for her birthday

Can we really send one to Trump? That's where mine is going. Anyone who gets it will see it as a compliment, I'm sure. Love my mug and love that new "urban dictionary" term: Celebritrash. It'll be in the mainstream dictionaries next week.
My friend saw the message on the cup ordered at a mutual friends house. We think it’s hilarious so had to put it on a coffee cup. Funny, great Christmas present. If she can’t use in public she can always use at home for pens and pencils on her desk!
Bought the "Bump Down" mug for my boyfriend, he thought it was the greatest and couldn't believe I'd actually found something with the phrase on it!
Great mug but i can't manage to get it out of my asshole again
First heard the term “Cheddar Headed” from the song Feel Good by the Gorillaz. Had to look it up and found the definition hilarious and at times very true! So......had to have it! Took it to work and it definitely made an impression. Hahaha!
This was purchased as a gift , and it describes the recipient perfectly . It arrived sooner than expected, and I am very impressed with the quality .
The mug I ordered was exactly as described on the site. The shipping was fast as well. I will buy from these people again.
Cute mug, arrived promptly in great condition. I like how you can choose background color & change wording. Will feel cheerful when drinking my coffee in this :)
Heavenly Mug This mug has been sent from the heavens. I'm too broke to buy it. But one day... I will. I will be mugged, dammit!
