Univision syndrome mug
Also known as the "Telemundo syndrome/effect", it is a mysterious ailment that affects a number of Latinos living in the US for a long time (either as immigrants or naturals) and that causes a very peculiar symptom in them, by which they talk in English with an extremely weird accent (which is not the traditional Latino accent that you might hear in a character from a comedy, such as South Park) that sounds like they are trying so hard to imitate the original American English accent. When you hear it, you might not recognize it as an accent at first, but rather as a way of spelling things. This kind of English sounds like the speaker's tongue is partially numb by dental anesthesia, hence depriving it of its normal movement capabilities, making the words sound smeared, flattened in the high vowels, and phonetically undeveloped, with vowels sounds usually heard being forced down to the mid spectrum: "eh" and "oh" sound. For example: "Nevada" sounds like "Neh-veh-räh", "Samsung" sounds like "Mzem-zem", "America" sounds like "Oh-meh-rreh-koh". The name "Univision syndrome/effect" comes from the fact that if you tune highly Americanized Latino TV channels such as Univisión or Telemundo, you will often encounter people in shows and ads that speak in such a peculiar way, but it is actually a phenomenon that manifests outside the TV studios too, among everyday Latino Joes and Janes.

Damonism and #Stolen Valor Coffee Mug These coffee mugs are rugged, solid, high quality and keep the liquids hotter, longer. The definitions of both mugs are spot-on! I will definitely by more. Great work Urban Dictionary!
why is this a real thing? AND YA'LL ACTING LIKE IT'S NORMAL!?
I really like the mug, but I thought I had ordered the all pink one. What came was a white with a block of pink with "Fubar" written on it.
the only reason why i care about humanity this mug is the reason why i believe humanity deserves a second chance, even after they blaspheme my name. this mug is the greatest thing i've ever seen and i have ordered many of them. this mug replaces the holy grail. the bible should've told about the wonderful deeds of the mug and how it saved humanity from my wrath. alas, whilst the laws keep me from tampering with human minds and altering holy objects like the bible, i can only pass on my message: "spread the news and buy this mug!"
Its.. omg, its............. AMAZING AMAZING OMG ITS SOOO GOOD

I like it but it took a long time getting here
Very basic mug but does the trick!
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
