jamerican Mug
Jamerican: A conjunction of Jamaican American, (or North American- depending on perspective); first coined and made popular by the Brooklyn based rap group “Born Jamericans” signifying their Jamaican parenting and American birth and upbringing. Since then it has evolved to include a delineation of Jamaican and American combinations. All of which are designed to reflect American distinction rooted in Jamaican pride and culture. The delineations can be identified in the following levels: LEVEL ONE: Born on the island of Jamaica, partially or predominately raised on the island, then migrated abroad; have become acclimated and comfortable with a number of American cultural commonalities, (like street food); may now only have an accent; and are proud of the strives that they have made abroad, but will retire “A Yard” – “Da Yah Long Time” LEVEL TWO: Is the largest and most inclusive population. (This level is the driving force that keeps the loving spirit of Jamaica international). May be born on the island of Jamaica but predominantly raised abroad OR born abroad but of Jamaican lineage (this may be one or more parents) and raised with a strong Jamaican hand (literally);usually speak regional English with out any accent, but can certainly speak “patois” and may turn the dialect on and off depending on company and conversation; the type of patois that they speak is prone to very American specific phraseologies – this may be referred to as “twingy twa”(a term coined in a song), familiar in usage to the Latino version of “spanglish” ; this population is often reminded that: “the migration to this country is a privilege”, “education is the key”, “what ever you do, make it your best”, ex: good, better, best, never, let it rest; till your good becomes better, and your better is your BEST”; - “Com fi tek ova” LEVEL THREE: This population feels very close to level two – however they may have encountered a more distant Jamaican parental influence (such as an absentee parent, a grand parent, uncle, aunt or Gaudee); these parental figures, however faded they may be, have installed the love for our small island in their hearts; they understand patios but the twingy twa is embracing, (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery) – “wen una talk it sweet wi” LEVEL FOUR: No Jamaican lineage whatsoever, however raised among Jamaicans OR just utterly infatuated by them; quite familiar with the sound of patios but can’t speak it at all!; love the island, has visited many times or wishes to visit, may use a few choice phrases incorrectly, attempt to live vicariously as a Level One and sometimes gets carried away in the role play; totally embraces the culture; hopes to be re-incarnated as a Jamaican with money; may often be referred to as “Ja- Fakin”, We Luv You!!, Una ful a joke; just don gi wi bad name!

I bought a Prone mug and i love it its so good imma prone to the bathroom now brb
This mug gives my life purpose. It's what I've always said. Patience is a virtue and hard work never betrays. Ever since I was born I've been struck with one misfortune after another, but today it all paid off. I got my own mug, and I use it anywhere and whenever I can! Both of my legs are shattered because to my wife threw me in the middle of traffic and my windpipe is messed up due to me screaming all the way from the crash site to the hospital thanks to the unbearable pain I was feeling. Although even with all that's happened this is still the best day of my life. I suppose the only problem I have is that whenever I happen to look at my cup I get a little too happy. That causes problems because my life support can't handle my exhilaration, haha! I'm just kidding; that was just a little lighthearted joke of mine. I actually cannot afford life support because I spent all of my life savings on this fine piece of pottery. Not to worry though! I can get through the pain with my will and drugs - I mean medication. P.S. There are definitely no ghosts in the mugs. Just wanted to point that out in case someone was worried about that.
I bought two mugs as gifts for coworkers and they were very pleased. The print was clear and concise. Hopefully they last a long time.
Ordered a gift for a friend I hope he likes it :)

My Name is Walter Hardwell White, My Mug was sent to 308 Negra Aroyal Lane, AQ, New Mexico and arrived on-time and I am very satisfied. My "Glock Dookie" mug is great for my lab work, and my friend Pinkman loves it!
I love this cup! My now ex-husband loves his opioids more than life itself. He would constantly pass out dead to the world the only thing I would here was his death moans. I had to call an aid car for him so many time that I can't remember plus 2 or 3 times the doctors told me that if it wasn't for me, he would have died. Her abandoned me after I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer because I was of no use to him any longer. I have no clue now who must be the one that's obligated to save his life any longer. All I know is I'm free from him now. The only thing I'm waiting for is that he finally overdoses himself & he's dead. I am buying a cup to send to him for our divorce anniversary gift so he can keep it in memory of how he treated me.
I loved it! Excellent quality!
I received the mug as a gift from a friend with whom I exchange "Weekaversary" eMails. I love the concept but am wondering why "aniversary" is spelled with only one "n?"
Wish it had the example text as well, but I loved it anyway
