fresh off the boat
Used to announce the arrival of fresh, hot fried rice, usually just off a ship or cooking line. A way to signal something amazing, steamy, and worth dropping everything for. Origin – The Chronicles of Steam and Salt (circa 603 CE) Legend holds that during the reign of Emperor Gǔ Tán of the Jade Coast, the empire faced a culinary famine. The emperor, a devout lover of wok-fried rice, decreed that no grain of mediocre rice shall be served within the palace walls. He summoned the Seven Rice Alchemists, legendary chefs who sailed eastward in gilded boats to find the perfect grain, seasoned wind, and wok flame. After three lunar cycles, they returned—bearing not just rare spices and golden grains, but vats of fried rice so fragrant, the emperor wept into his beard. As the boats docked, steam rose like incense, and the people cried: “Fresh off the boat!” (“Rice from the boat, heaven’s aroma descends.”) The phrase passed into legend, later used by dock workers, food smugglers, and ravenous poets whenever something too good to be local came in hot. Fun Fact: During a 1986 noodle festival in Macau, a fried rice vendor was fined for yelling “Fresh off the boat!” too many times during a single hour. It was later ruled a protected phrase by the Culinary Heritage Bureau.
The Urban Dictionary Tee
Great shirt. Great service. Shopify doesn’t track the shipment accurately though. However, when I reached out to Urban Dictionary customer service, they were able to help me.
Wore it to school.
Love this shirt so much
I love this t-shirt that says morbussy. It allows me to show off both my love for Morbius and the fact that I get no Morbussy.
This shirt feels great, perfect fit too.
Great looking t-shirt. Good quality. Printing looks good.
Cool I didn’t order anything I just have a lot of free time and not a lot of hobbies
Fun and soft.
Good stuff! Although, I do have a sneaking suspicion that this is cursed. You see, whenever i dawn this top-teir, soft, stylish shirt - I proceed to pass out within 46 seconds. The mere act of making contact with the material insues the process of this countdown starting. If I do not quit contact, i will lose conciousness the exact moment the countown hits 0. And when I regain clarity, I find myself in a bathtub - never mine, but a bathtub nevertheless. In the bathtub, there is always various colours of hairdye. I then have to go back home, shirt stained with dye. Very fashionable though! 10/10
Smooth transaction and nice product, shipping was quick!
good very good worth money!
5 out of 5 I love when people start reading the definition. It's halourious
10/10 yes much good 10/10 would buy again
Fit is true to size, good quality material. Graphics applied well (not off-center or angled as with some products). Quick shipment.
gooderesting the gooderesting thing ever made
Got it for a friend! He loved it
Size was accurate, and printed text was as displayed online. Doesn't hurt that the material is pretty soft either.
mine says "ass" on it lol
Good Decent, comfortable by all means
My wife bought this for me, my only thing about the shirt, is the big Vernon on the front. I think I would prefer it situated and smaller type as if overva pocket. Other than that I love it. Seems to be of good quality and easy wearability, but I have only tried it on, so am uncertain. Thank you for making my day
