Get the Moickmug. The release of pent-up or repressed energies through their attachment to a new object or situation and their resultant release. For instance, the vicarious satisfaction of a desire to commit violence due to frustration with one's boss, through something other than violence against one's boss, e.g. through watching violent films, doing karate as a hobby, fighting a rival gang, playing Doom, etc.
It's a concept taken from Freudian psychoanalysis.
It also has a peculiar meaning in Gramscian theory, where it refers to the rearticulation and reconfiguration of desires and passions into a new ideological/philosophical framework - roughly speaking, the achievement of a new, revolutionary formation of desire.

Get the Gigglemug. Character in the Suikoden series of games. Known as "Blue Lightning Flik", he is a roguish-looking man who wears a blue robe and bandanna, has spiky hair and wields a sword.
He's in love with Odessa who... well I won't spoil the story but suffice to say this motivates his role in the original Suikoden game. Assumed dead at the end, he reappears intact for Suikoden II - intact enough to be stalked by Nina the Greenhill student throughout most of the game...
He has a lightning rune and so can use lightning magic, hence his nickname.

Get the oinkmug. An Indian protest tactic which involves a combined sit-in and fast or hunger-strike (usually not ongoing, and sometimes carried out on a rotating basis). Participants in a dharna sit down in a strategic location, either inside a target building or area (thus amounting to an occupation), or outside some such target, and fast, usually while also chanting and holding placards.
