Get the Get Hold Ofmug. Basically it means very cold. The sort of cold that puts a heavy frost on the ground and makes your hands go numb. The word is possibly a combination of “frosty” and “hoary”; hoary being the greyish-white appearance frost gives to the countryside.

Get the Frorymug. Refraining from having sex with a female while you are both suffering from the effects of overindulgence in alcohol. Most cases like that are usually described as brewer’s droop or beerdick. Perhaps the person who came up with the idea that this is down to morals, ethics or willpower should remember the old saying a standing cock has no conscience and leave the bullshit to the politicians.
“Sally and I got ratassed last night; she was gagging for it, but I didn’t do anything.”
“Drunk chivalry?”
“Nah, brewer’s droop.”
“Drunk chivalry?”
“Nah, brewer’s droop.”

Get the Gemma Collinsmug. A cuspidor is a large bowl, often of metal, serving as a receptacle for spit, usually from snuff dipping or tobacco chewing. Generally considered to be the same as a spittoon, although spittoons tend to be shorter than cuspidors. The word comes from the Portuguese “cuspir” meaning to spit which itself comes from the Latin “conspuere” meaning to spit upon.
Toreador,
Don’t spit upon the floor,
Use the cuspidor,
That’s what it’s for.
