Giving the business Mug
This phrase was first started sometime in the 1940's. It's origins are from the National Football League. It's exact origins are unknown but the term was used by players and coaches to describe what goes on during a pile up of players attempting to recover a fumble or a loose ball on the field. Players at the bottom of the pile would often resort to dirty, classless tactics in an attempt to recover the ball from another player while the referees were attempting to clear the pile to discover who had recovered the ball. Often times, players would resort to punching, kicking, scratching, grabbing an opposing players ball sac and squeezing, etc.... in the hopes that the player with the ball would give up the ball to try and stop the other player from "giving him the business". The phrase became known to the general public in 1986, during an NFL game between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets when referee Ben Dreith called a personal foul penalty on the Jets' Marty Lyons after he tackled Bills quarterback Jim Kelly to the ground and started to repeatedly punch him in the head. Dreith announced to the crowd: "We have a personal foul on number 99 of the defense — after he tackled the quarterback, he's giving him the business down there, that's a 15-yard penalty."

this mug reminds me of my cat, it does nothing and cant pour me a nice cup of joe. It is horrible, it doesn't tell nor does it allow me sip on it. It stops me from drinking from it, its like the mug is trying to torture me.
love this mug! Goes perfect with the Morbius meal.
Had no idea my name had a definition!!
Bought for an inside joke. Perfect.
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!)
