steaming cup custom mug
Based on the "steaming cup" office tool used in a Budweiser commercial to give colleagues and leadership the impression that you're still working because there is a hot, steaming cup of coffee at your desk. A term used for someone who is never seen at his/her desk, but has neither travel nor off-site vendor/customer visits on his/her list of duties. Also someone who leaves on his/her light, computer or takes an additional step and places an "auxiliary" set of keys, sunglasses, headgear or outerwear in his/her office to give one the impression that he/she is still at work, but at large. This term can also be used from someone who has frequent and/or lengthy unaccountable minutes/hours away from his/her desk. This person does not usually have much to do and many times this person is a figureghead, for if they WERE busy or essential, their unfinished business would set off alerts from vendors, customers and colleagues looking for answers to questions, information and/or other work-related deliverables.
"If I leave my desk for any amount of time my inbox completely floods over. Bob, however, is a steaming cup who's never around but somehow never seems to fall behind in his work." "His light and computer are on but good luck finding him after 2:00 p.m. He's a steaming cup." "I have tried to schedule a meeting with that guy, but I can never find him. Turns out John told me he's a steaming cup so he's never around!" "Don't be fooled by how late his light stays on, he's just a steaming cup who can never be found after lunch."
The greyed text won't fit on the mug.

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.
