Get the Euphemized mug.Monopoly: A bored, (pardon the Freudian slip), game.
monopoly: A legal concept that has been legislated out of existence by attorneys, judges, and legislators. Now that all legal definitions of monopoly are unlawful, simply understand this: When a corporation is so big that it doesn't need to worry about whether consumers like doing business with it, because they have no choice, it's a monopoly.

Get the monopoly mug.Short for, "tell me when to stop". The grammatically improper, but obedient reply is, when. Some people who use this phrase are so pedantic about receiving an obedient reply that they will not stop if the reply is other than, "when", because they think it's funny.
Say when.
OK... That's enough.
I said that's enough!
Will you stop already?!?
When you say "when".
When, already! You've ruined my drink!!!

Get the unsolicited mug.Clichés such as as phalli, (see phallus), ankhs, crucifixes, eggs, rabbits, and maidens dressed in white; the proper trappings for certain pagan holidays, such as Easter.
