Gentlemen of the Road
A generic moniker applied to travelers who project their own insecurities and lack of local knowledge on to the people and places they fail to understand in their travels. Essential characteristics: 1) Rely on sweeping generalizations about the inadequacies or deficiencies of a local population that offer no room for the role of the systemic influences or constraints on those people, While showing no apparent desire to learn about or understand said factors. 2) Fancy themselves superior to tourists who opt for a comfortable option over more "adventurous" methods, while simultaneously expressing indignation (directed at the bystanders of their "adventure") when they are not treated with the same sort coddling that they rebuke others for choosing. Of essential importance is that this irony is completely lost on them. 3) Devolve into blatantly racist diatribes and jokes while apparently believing that reference to their past espousal of a now abandoned multiculturalism, somehow makes their xenophobia validated. They believe that the culturally open attitude they held from the comfort of their home country was due to their own virtue, while the subsequent condemnations are due to the fundamental flaws of those people and no shortcomings of the travelers themselves. The expression was coined in the summer of 2010 in Hanoi, Vietnam after awareness of a travelers' blog bearing the same name quickly spread via Twitter and Facebook in Hanoi's English speaking community.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Customer Reviews
Well printed, the mug's ceramic is of good quality, I'm not sure what else I can add. I am surprised it could be printed and shipped so quickly based on my earlier experience printing/kiln-firing/baking this kind of product. Well done.
Sent to a friend. He loved it!
Easy to order and customize. Very tough, solid, and well-made. Nice and hefty in the hand.
urban dictionary is my personal lifeline to the divine, thank you for selling me a $35 coffee cup that I gave to friend, bought another and gave that another friend. Likely asking, rather in need of, a six or more discount code, for six or more gifts to friends! Xoxo
It’s great to be able to create your own mug.
Cool
So dope.
I LOVE my mug! It's such a meaningful way to remember a word my Dad "coined" When I was a child. I am very pleased.
Arrived exactly on time( as projected) ;( beautiful blue color 💙 as specified) loving it ! ❤️
We really like our cup!!!
Great idea to be able to offer this quality mug. I wish it would have come with the full text including examples listed on Urban Dictionary but I do love the mug. Just bought my 2nd one. Packaging is duarable and perfect for rough transit.

I appreciated the email asking if the content was correct. Excellent quality and attention to detail. Thank you!
It was easy to correct grammar when necessary, and then to order a great gift for a member of a wedding party. Nice, simple, and sturdy mug.
