Get the in da housemug. A feature of the UrbanDictionary.com home page that never updates, resulting in hordes of new definitions for terms that are already more than sufficiently defined, and no definitions at all for terms people want defined.

Get the a nobodymug. A 4-wheel drive vehicle that says "Jeep" on it because the manufacturer had the right to put the word "Jeep" on it.

Bumper stickers that say "My other car is..." don't count.
If it says Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Suzuki, or (snigger) Subaru on it, it is not a Jeep! Stop calling it what it isn't.

Get the Jeepmug. A duh-weebish Administration within the U.S. government that is so incoherently ran that if NASA operated the way they do, ALL their shuttles would explode.
NASA may kill off 7 people now and then, but the Social Security Administration probably kills off 7 people every day.

Get the Social Securitymug. The Home Computer, aka Personal Computer, of the late 1970s. Notable models were the 400, 800, and 800XL. The 1200XL actually came out before the 800XL and was a joke. The 65XE was simply an 800XL made over to resemble a Commodore 64. All of these models included a game cartridge slot that was compatible with the then-current Atari game cartridges.
The 800XL came with 64k of RAM. Most users wondered what we would ever do with that much memory. An external 5.5 inch floppy disk or cassette deck drive was optional.
The entire computer was built into the keyboard. Atari computers generally used an external converter that reproduced both video and audio through a television.
Atari computers rapidly lost market share in the 1980s due to Atari's preoccupation with video games and game consoles so that when Atari employees Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak developed the first Apple computer, they had to start their own company to produce it.
Atari was the Home Computer to have until the Apple came out.
As was standard for the era of Atari's golden age, their computers only had rudimentary operating systems, so most operating instructions were written into each software application.
Their primary competitor, Commodore, entered the market late, with a Home Computer that wasn't good for much besides games and greeting cards, even though Atari was still better at those tasks due to better color and sound support. For a time, more Commodores were sold than Ataris due to better marketing. Other players in that era included the Timex/Sinclair and the TI 99/A.
Atari eventually developed IBM-compatible PCs in the late 1980s, but it was too little, and far too late.
