tada
Ta-dah! comes from the Bulgarian or Slavic words for "ta + da" (та да!)meaning "that there". It is an exclamation used in magic shows (prestidigitation) by magicians to announce the conclusion of the trick or the illusion to the audience. The equivalent to 'Voila!' in French. It was likely a Bulgarian or Russian magician (definitely Eastern European) traveling in the United States that said it (likely in the late 1800's when Eastern European immigrants started flooding to American shores). An American likely heard it and thought it sounded usuable for showmanship, without knowing what it was. та да! Then magicians everywhere started using it as a handle or a gimic because it sounded more impressive than saying "There you have it!" in English. The Bible in Bulgarian, shows this sort of usage: "Behold!" "Voila!" and "та да!" Mean roughly the same thing. It is often used as an introductory to a sentence, mainly where God is speaking, but by itself is showmanship flourish. The Bible in Bulgarian is written in Old Church Slavonic. Since Russian & Slavic culture manifest traveling circuses & magic shows in abundance, they a clever saying for presentation purposes. Once it reached America, however, the nuances of the actual original meaning in that culture changed for American ears to promote magic with magic sounding words. So, thanks to an ingenious Eastern European magician, magic got what it needed to become a permanent part of American pop culture.

Looks great! Came quick
Gave it to my nerd brother. He used it consume liquid
Love it
as a fan of non-Z-generation-UD (since 2000 more or less) , especially of old-school definitions ("phat!") (as Nick, the more time passes by, the more I reach my inner age = 75 XD) , I totally appreciated the delivery in time for Christmas! (whispering) Perhaps printing quality in the Spain printing company is not as good as in the US, but - hey! - I got it before Christmas as a gift for my thank-God-non-Gen-Z-sister! ;) hugs from the eighties, and from Italy, and thanks!

Like the mug for my daughter, but didn’t notice that I had color choices when checking out. The yellow was pre-set so I got that color. Would much rather have selected a different color.
Cute, well-made mug! Exactly like the photo. I can't wait to give this as a gift this Christmas!
The description of a person by their names is the realest I’ve ever come across
