Tecato Gusano
Tecato Gusano' , it means "some kind of interior psychic worm that cannot be sated or killed.".. in other words one never kills their addiction, but merely finds a way to keep it asleep... - Tony Tedesco The Chicano heroin addict or " tecato " belongs to a subculture that profoundly influences addict behavior and personality. Life-history interviews with a subsample of 18 Southern California ex- tecatos who were abstinent from 2.3 to 24.5 years revealed that tecatos employ the metaphor of an indestructable junkie worm or " tecato gusano " living in their vicera to explain heroin relapse, and abstinence in a manner essentially consistent with learning theories of opioid addiction. The study showed that ex- tecatos use a variety of coping mechanisms for maintaining abstinence and for avoiding "dangerous situations" which could trigger heroin craving and relapse. The research also revealed that being an ex- tecato does not necessarily imply living a crime free or nondeviant lifestyle, and that the process of working out of addiction involves two complementary social adjustment processes termed (a) extrication (from the tecato subculture) and (b) accommodation (to square society). Suggestions for utilizing these findings for treatment intervention purposes are offered. - J S Jorquez
The Urban Dictionary Mug
This was a phrase my husband and I made up even we first started dating. We laughed so hard while submitting it. The mug is perfect!
i love it. my friend loved it. yay. now i'm happy and not depressed anymore.
Arrived speedily and exactly as pictured.
I LOVE GETTING THE FUCKING MUG
The wife absolutely loved it for her birthday
Cute, good quality, *****!
My order was delivered very quickly and was high quality. Glad to add it to my mug shelf.
I love it, but of course the definition Ichose for “Unicorn” is too long and gets cut off after “someone is remarkably attractive.” Is there any way to purchase a second mug that has the rest of the quote on it? They’d make a great set as a present. Please let me know. David Tillinghast dtilling480@gmail.com
Awesome mugs!
These mugs are great! Great Quality and variety of colors also!
I was very happy in the experience and having a couple modifications made. The support team was very responsive And helpful in making sure it was done and delivered.
Exactly what I was expecting and a great product.
looks exactly as I expected -- nicely packaged, also quick service~!
Absolutely loved the mug, but it has scratches on it. Regardless, I would order it again!
As a Jolology major, I love my new mug!
I gave it as a gift and the recipient loved it. No indication where it was made, so maybe USA? That would be really nice, if so.
The mug is of good quality but advertisement needs to change as the sample photo for ordering gives the customer an illusion that the entire mug is of that color ordered when it is not
What is there to say? It's a mug, with a word in front and the definition in back. Nicely done!
excellent customer service. i gave the wrong address and they got it here quick.
love it
