VTEC
Honda's name for their variable valve timing system that happens to include electronic lift control. (See also : MIVEC, VVTL-i, VariCam Plus, VANOS, and VVL. ) For combustion engines, it allows the increase of air and fuel consumption when VTEC is engaged. Due to its "lift control", VTEC doesn't engage until higher RPMs to save fuel. Once engaged however, fuel economy drops significantly as performance increases by 20 - 30 horsepower with an increase of torque efficiency. To market their "economy" cars, Honda used VTEC to have higher horse-power claims. Most of their horsepower claims are at high RPM marks (7,500 or higher), whereas other motor companies make their claims at lower RPM marks (5,500 or below). This confused most buyers as they thought that engaging their VTEC would allow for them to enjoy peak fuel economy AND peak performance at the same time (hence grew the term to mock VTEC-users; "vtak just kicked in yo!") To add to the illusion of performance (but keep the status of "economy car"), most VTEC-motors were dropped into chassis with a front-wheel drive drive train (with the S2000 and NSX exempt). Due to their front-wheeled drive pull, some VTEC users became euphoric in what seemed to be a "fast" car(though it was mostly because of the "pull" force from the car being a FWD vehicle). Ultimately, the concept of variable valve timing and lift control is now used by other car companies.

Great customer service and was a fun surprise for an inside joke to a coworker. 😊
Nice cup! Seems to be a quality piece.
This mug reminds me of when I was happy. When I was a wee little winker enjoying the wonders of this life!
The, "Wenomechainsama" Mug has amazing quality and an amazing definition! Can't belive my child's generation is so funny! Love - Sharen, 55, On facebook !<3
this mug reminds me of my cat, it does nothing and cant pour me a nice cup of joe. It is horrible, it doesn't tell nor does it allow me sip on it. It stops me from drinking from it, its like the mug is trying to torture me.
love this mug! Goes perfect with the Morbius meal.
Had no idea my name had a definition!!
Bought for an inside joke. Perfect.
i love the schizophrenia mug its amazing
This cute mug reminded me of a quote from an obscure biography I found quite by accident in a tiny hole-in-the-wall 2nd hand shop in Portland, ME in 1987: 'The Life and Times of Lazarus of Bethany'. Quote: " We are all walking wounded held together by the scars of our forbearance and the charity of our sisters and brothers." Truer words have never been said.
Love it . Its me down to a T
unlike most mug customization, you can say whatever the fuck you want. Bravo!
i liked that the mug had my name on it and a funny definition, i will definitely buy some for my friends(with their names of course).
I bought it as sort of a gag gift for my son and his new girlfriend and they loved it
