thorbjorning
The verb thorbjorning means to give someone their reward before they have accomplished what they set out to do. The verb was originally coined by New York Times columnist Yoni Brenner in 2009, when Thorbjørn Jagland, a Norwegian politician and chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama for his good intentions rather than any actual accomplishments. The deadline for nominations for the prize was only 11 days after Obama was sworn in as President. Thorbjørn Jagland was ridiculed for his decision and described as a fool by politicians like Alexander Downer and much of the world press, and the award as an embarassment to Obama. In the past Jagland was also often ridiculed in Norway for his statements and actions, including his ultimatum that his cabinet would resign if his party received less than 36.9% of the popular vote in 1997, which it subsequently did, and quotes like "We will come again, yes, we are here already", "We put the foot down and stand on it" and "I usually don't look backwards, nor do i look forward".
The Urban Dictionary Mug
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.

Perfect cuup of coffee size, and the printing is spot on!
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!
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!
