keelhauling
When a question is posed to the internet at large, not to anyone in particular, and people chime in to say that they don't know the answer. Especially prevalent on technical forums and Amazon Questions, where any given "Does anyone know how to..." will feature many people inexplicably chiming in just to say no, they don't know. Bonus points if the person is replying with hostility, suggesting that one should not want to know, or to say that they know for a fact it can't be done; triple word score if they say it can't be done, then someone else explains how to do it. Home run if they continue to insist it can't be done after that. The etymology of this usage refers back to a StackExchange thread where a user asked if the maritime punishment of keelhauling was ever actually historically practiced. Many users replied to say "I don't know" in elaborate ways, often quoting Wikipedia back at the original user, as if he had no access to it himself. In the end, the user did some original research and determined that no, it probably wasn't real. All of the replies were keelhauling.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
I took time designing it but wasn't sure, online tools being what they are, that what I was seeing was for sure what I'd get. Very much appreciated the customer service communication which verified that what I'd designed was what I wanted, and the shipping was quick too.
Item came on time as promised
Came within a week and it's exactly what I ordered, my friend will love it!
Sus cup I bought the sus mug for the sus king Daequan
Good quality, packaging shipped well, arrived quickly.
My mug came in broken but Urban Dictionary replaced it at no extra charge!
Excellent mug excellent service
this is the best for coffee and hot coco especially if you make the hot coco in it then pour it on your significant other and do body shots 😋🥱
I can pass away peacefully. This mug is everything I’ve ever needed and more. Fat thank you, Urban Dictionary. <3
I was really excited to receive this mug and when it did come it was perfect quality. My only complaint is that the color I choose was green teal but it came in yellow.
As always, easy to order and not-too-long of a wait for the finished product to arrive. It’s well-printed, and very sturdy. A great gag present for wedding party members.
The mug , color and saying are perfect! PMEO is what I say at work everyday. It has become a favorite saying for my coworkers when things go haywire!
Quality and style are outstanding relative to price point.
Love it! It is my favorite mug. Easy to hold because of its shape and weight. Now my go-to mug.
My wife is truly beautiful and this cup was perfect for her.
Awesome mugs! My GF laughed her ass off, lol!!!
