an hero custom mug
1. to kill oneself, especially over something trivial 2. someone who kills himself, especially over something trivial The term originated in a poorly written eulogy posted on the MySpace memorial page of a boy who shot himself after he lost his iPod. The poem frequently referred to the boy as "an hero." Though the use of "an" with words beginning with 'h' is acceptable when the letter is silent--as in many varieties of British English--it was incorrect in this case, since the author did not write the rest of the poem in British English. The use of "an" before "hero" might also be inferred to be a careless error from the many other instances of poor style and grammar found in the rest of the source material. The term subsequently gained wide acceptance as a means to refer to those, such as the aforementioned boy, who kill themselves. Though the term is frequently applied to people who kill themselves needlessly, many famous, easily justifiable suicides are regarded as an heroes (e.g. Adolf Hitler). Considering its origins, the term should be used with caution. Most are unfamiliar with the term, and those who are familiar with it may be offended at its use, especially when it is used in reference to a deceased loved one.
He was such an hero, to take it all away ... He was an hero, to take that shot, to leave us all behind ... He was an hero, to take that shot, In life it wasn't his task, He shouldn't have had to go that way, before an decade'd past. ... Lacking, nevermore, He died an hero, Mitchell did, And we'll love him forevermore. Robert an heroed himself on live television.

Very basic mug but does the trick!
The mug is a gift for our Fantasy Football league winner…or loser. I'm not sure yet; it's a bit of a spoof that will be disclosed on Thanksgiving.
This will be the perfect gift this winter! It even came in a nice little box. The mug seems to be of good quality. It was a bit pricy, got to be honest, but it’ll be very well received.
Would have like the entire cup with purple color. Not just the part with the slogan. It's a nice cup!
It was fantastic very good quality.
The printing, the Word and it's definition -- were not quite what I expected. And the same word definition ordered on two different mugs, and yet each was described / defined differently.
This was easy to order although I wish the preview pics showed the next on both sides once you finish customizing. But I appreciated that if the text doesn't fit they email you and ask what you want it to say. Came out great and I can't wait to give it as a gift
Sent to a friend. He loved it!
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.
Funny cup that my girl absolutely loved!
my partner thought it was very silly
I’m excited to have gotten it. I’m going to give it to a man at my church that volunteers this time and won’t stop working! So the inscription is perfect for him.
Easy to order and customize. Very tough, solid, and well-made. Nice and hefty in the hand.
Looked great and delivered fast.
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
Perfect way to start my day!
The mug looks great and hasn't faded after multiple runs through the dishwasher. It microwaves well, and the text is sufficiently unruly.
The mug arrived very packed and on time. I love how well crafted the coffee mug is. I plan on ordering other merch from URBAN Dictionary soon. Thanks.
fantastic, personal gift to share with anyone!
Exactly as I ordered it. Shipping was perfect, got updates, accurate date of delivery, and no damage. This is a gift for my little brother.
