Cantopop
Popular music genre originating in Hong Kong, and became popular in the late 1970s to early 1980s, sung in Cantonese, the major dialect of Southern China, and spoken widely in Overseas Chinese communities. Before then, popular music in Hong Kong, aside from classical and traditional vernacular ballads, was most often sung in Mandarin, the lingua franca language of China. Artists such as Sam Hui and Roman Tam were among the first singers to popularize songs written and sung in Cantonese around that time. Much Canto-pop songs follow a rhyming format in its lyrics. This popularity, combined with slick marketing of the songs and its artists, lead to the development of a local popular music and entertainment industry that was not only popular in Hong Kong, which spread to other Chinese communities in Southeast Asia and beyond. Artists in the 1980s that rode and strengthed the Canto pop industry included Alan Tam, Kenny Bee, Leslie Chueng, Anita Mui. The 1990s saw the emergence of artists such as the Four Heavenly Kings - Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Leon Lai, and Aaron Kwok. Today's artists include Sammi Cheng, Twins, Nicholas Tse, Eason Chan. It's a pretty structured and manufactured industry -- stars get the buildup by their recording companies, they make lots of public apperances, and put on concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum, often for days on end. They also frequently are cast in locally made movies to take advantage of their star power. Much of the lyrics are often sappy and critically slammed as superficial. Some of them were covered from Japanese songs with local writers putting them to Chinese lyrics. They are, however, fairly easy to sing, and are often a staple of the karaoke lounge. Many Cantopop stars, to take advantage of the markets in the PRC and Taiwan, will often record songs in Mandarin, and make appearances there as well, as well as areas such as Singapore, Malaysia and North America.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Can we really send one to Trump? That's where mine is going. Anyone who gets it will see it as a compliment, I'm sure. Love my mug and love that new "urban dictionary" term: Celebritrash. It'll be in the mainstream dictionaries next week.
My friend saw the message on the cup ordered at a mutual friends house. We think it’s hilarious so had to put it on a coffee cup. Funny, great Christmas present. If she can’t use in public she can always use at home for pens and pencils on her desk!
Bought the "Bump Down" mug for my boyfriend, he thought it was the greatest and couldn't believe I'd actually found something with the phrase on it!
Great mug but i can't manage to get it out of my asshole again
First heard the term “Cheddar Headed” from the song Feel Good by the Gorillaz. Had to look it up and found the definition hilarious and at times very true! So......had to have it! Took it to work and it definitely made an impression. Hahaha!
This was purchased as a gift , and it describes the recipient perfectly . It arrived sooner than expected, and I am very impressed with the quality .
The mug I ordered was exactly as described on the site. The shipping was fast as well. I will buy from these people again.
Cute mug, arrived promptly in great condition. I like how you can choose background color & change wording. Will feel cheerful when drinking my coffee in this :)
Heavenly Mug This mug has been sent from the heavens. I'm too broke to buy it. But one day... I will. I will be mugged, dammit!
Why am I here? I don't know how I got here, but I can't stop writing weird things on the cup...😅 Help me. I have a test to study for. A family. Also, if I wasn't broke I would buy 10,000 of these mugs. They look highly entertaining. Love this website, and I probably will fail the test. 🙃
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!

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.
