Get the no burn mug.
A usually sarcastic and insulting comment, devised to burn someone's emotions. Brilliant burns are something anyone around, other than the wimpy victim, should appreciate. If you give one of these ingenius burns, someone around surely will utter, "Oh BURN!!". One must never say these words if they are administering the burn. This sucks most of the burning potential out of it, and, since no one else says "Oh BURN!!", it makes the victim think that only the burner agrees with the comment, giving little to no burned emotion, which makes a burn with the burner saying "burn" not a true burn. Also, when burning, it is best not to actually start the burn, that is, a burn is more painful if the victim says something normal and the burner makes a burning comment, or addition to what the victim said, thus burning the victim. So never say the beginning to what makes a burn; you'll just sound stupid. So good luck, be quick, don't say "burn" if you're burning someone, and don't say the starting words to a burn. Now go out and burn somebody!

Guy: "OH BURN!!"
