Sadie Hawkins
Traditionally, Sadie Hawkins is an occasion when women take the initiative in inviting the men of their choice to a date. According to an article in Antiques and Collecting magazine, this tradition began with the "Li'l Abner" comic strip, one of the most famous and popular American comic strips. "Li'l Abner," created by Al Capp, depicted a countrified America as it once was, through the adventures of its characters in Dogpatch, U.S.A, stated an article in National Review magazine. Sadie Hawkins is one of Capp's most memorable characters, who made her first appearance in November 1937. Until the mid-50s, November was known as Sadie Hawkins month and became an unofficial collegiate holiday and a comic strip character classic. Hawkins was the ugly daughter of the most wealthy and powerful man in town and was avoided by all the town's men. Despite her family's prestige, she seemed destined to suffer the utmost humiliation with which a woman could be cursed — becoming an old maid. Hawkins' father intervened and used his power to snare her a man. He lined up all eligible males and shot off his gun. When the gun was fired, they knew to run for their lives and their freedom. The gunshot signaled the unwed females to enter the race and try to catch a man. When an unfortunate male was brought back, most often kicking and screaming, he had no choice but to marry the woman. Hawkins seemed to be as quick on her feet as she was ugly and finally chased her man down. The other girls, who did not manage to catch their man, liked the idea and made Sadie Hawkins Day an annual affair to be cherished by women and dreaded by bachelors. Capp also came up with the idea for a Sadie Hawkins dance, which captured the imaginations of American college kids. The craze spread throughout the '40s and '50s, and continues today.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Is a great mug that I purchased as a gag gift for a coworker. You know the one who also as interesting words/phrases that only urban dictionary can explain. Great as a coffee mug and better as conversation piece!
👍
The mug exceeded my expectations. Really excellent quality and build
Jim, you’re a fucking idiot interfering with accurate ratings and legitimate feedback. Get a hobby.
Great gift!
A little spendy, but worth it.
My wife kept talking about "ways out" being a Denver version of "psych" and she was right, so I got her this once I found it on UD. She loved it!
It's a great mug, will reccomend to family members my grandma gave me this mug for christmas and it was by far the best gift i got.
It arrived three weeks after ordering but given the holiday rush and inability of shipping to keep on schedule arrived late but was perfect little gift from me to my wife for her morning coffee with her "nickname" on the mug.
I liked the photo on your website and so I ordered the mug. You sent it right away, and it looks great!
Arrived carefully packaged
me and the boys when i get vodka mug
I ordered 3 of your mugs, with different names on them. There was a typo in the information about the name on the back of each of the mugs. This wasn’t a dealbreaker because the people who received them liked them. However, it would be nice if somebody who has basic proficiency in spelling English words could proofread the script for all of your names before they’re prepared.
Arrived on time. Great packaging. Communication with vendor was top-notch. High quality item.
I love it! Thanks! So
Great present for a retiring colleague with custom saying she's known for!
Loved this mug! So unique and you can edit the text to add something unique.
I gave it to my friend who took money from me and never returned.
I love the fact that I was able to customize my name since I've never been able to find anything with my name. The only downside is it's smaller than I thought it would be (I guess I didn't pay much attention to that), wish it was bigger, only about 10 oz total.
It's simply awesome; and plus, the word means a lot.
