Gentlemen of the Road tee
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.

Customer Reviews
I always get so many compliments when I wear this (my favorite) shirt. I have been able to give out my phone number to lots of nice old men and my parents think it's great that I have so many nice mentors grooming me into a nice young boy who is willing to "follow the rules ".

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!
