Aversus
<b>Noun</b> <b>Definition:</b> <p>Aversus is the proposed and rightful name for the backslash (`\`), replacing the uninspired and reactionary term "reverse solidus." The name "Aversus" derives from the Latin *aversus*, meaning "turned away" or "opposite," accurately reflecting the character's orientation and function while giving it a distinct and dignified identity.</p> <b>Etymology:</b> <p>From Latin *aversus* (past participle of *avertere*), meaning "turned away," "opposed," or "facing away." The name was proposed as a means to liberate the backslash from its secondary and dependent status, allowing it to stand on its own in typographical history.</p> <b>Historical Context:</b> The backslash (`\`) was introduced in computing by Bob Bemer in 1961 for use in ASCII, primarily to serve as an escape character in programming languages. However, its name remained an afterthought, as it was merely designated in opposition to the forward slash (`/`), which had an established identity as the <i>solidus</i>. The term "reverse solidus" was coined in formal typographical contexts but never gained widespread natural usage.
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

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.
