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.

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
I haven't even bought it, it smells nice
nice quality, vivid image
What's funny is the saying that everyone searched for is the one that popped up on the cup. So all the weird gross sayings that people are commenting on are completely out of context to everyone seeing their comment.
I would buy a morbillion of these mugs.
Coffee is good with a banana (minus the Shimflins!)

EVERY mug I have ordered online through Urban Dictionary has exceeded my expectations! Each (5) is of a very high quality: Clear/Clean printing (ink, color, sharpness, clarity), and Outstanding craftsmanship ("feels" good to hold, and you can tell it "ain't made cheap"). Your company should be proud, indeed.
