in the barrel

This refers to an unpleasant experience, often involving physical or verbal assaults from other people. This is often used in the expression "(one's) time in the barrel" or "turn in the barrel", with the implication that other persons have to go through this experience as well, and now it is one's own turn. This expression has apparently been frequently used by persons in the armed services, for example: - used of US troops in Viet Nam under a long artillery siege - used by astronauts to refer to press appearances and conferences, which they disliked - used by a veteran of the Australian Navy to refer to sexual assaults and harassment of newer recruits Other uses (including uses in fiction) have included being in jail, being investigated by the police, working the front desk at an FBI office, being subject to academic criticism, facing difficult audiences on the country music circuit, and having one's stolen emails exposed to public view. The origin of this expression is not clear. A person born in southern Indiana in 1922 reported that when he was a child, a game called "your turn in the barrel" involved one child standing in a barrel while the other children stood in a circle around him attempting to hit him by throwing dirt, fruit, and the like. There is a "joke" about sailors taking turns in a barrel providing sexual gratification to their entire company, but this may postdate the term.

Astounding Mug. I found this Mug in a dark time, the time when I needed a mug the most. I went onto google.net and found this truly amazing piece of craftsmanship. Manny Heffley came out of my computer and started to gyrate, before hopping out completely and eating my asshole. It felts so good, I started shaking and moaning, rapidly convulsing on the floor. Manny Heffley slowly crawled into my, hiding in my womb in order to store his power for 12 months and evolve to the form of "Baby 2". Thank you, Urban Dictionary. This mug changed my life.

This was sent as a gift to my grandson, who lives in another state, so I never saw it. However I asked him as follows: "Just checking ... their request for a review shows an aquamarine mug ... it was supposed to be purple (eggplant, they called it). Was it purple?" Then he said: "It was purple! And thank you I love it haha Sent from my iPhone"

so happy you were able to put my unique word "Obergrossescheinehund" onto the new yellow mug. The yellow mug and black print make it easy for the words to be seen.

Product was as advertised and arrived pretty quickly too! The person loved their gift!

The "Pink Flamingo" colour with white text on a pink background is the best selection for this fine phrase mug. May I suggest you also correct the misspelling of "delightfully" in the default option for a timeless gift.
