As any know-it-all 15 year old will tell you, the swastika was originally an anicent Hindu symbol of good fortune and prosperity. However, it was used reletivly recently by the nazis and is still used by various hate groups. One would have to be very foolish to use the swastika with the anicient connotations. Would you wear a swastika armband to wish everyone else good luck?
"Intellectual" 15 year old-I have a swastika drawn on my comp book because it used to be an ancient symbol of good stuff.
Senseable Person-But now its a symbol of the Nazis, racism, and bigotry, and is offensive to millions around the world. Besides, its not like the swastika has had its meaning "reclaimed". Get rid of it before people think that you are actually a Nazi.

Think of it this way: Cadillacs used to be symbols of youth and wealth. Now they are symbols of old age. Does driving a Caddy make people think that you are young and rich? No, usually people see a Caddy and imagine that some old person is driving it. Same basic idea.

Get the swastika mug.A group of people sleeping on the floor, for lack of suitable sleeping areas.
The next morning is characterized by sore backs and necks, poor quality of sleep, and at least two people hooking up.

We snuck 13 people into the hotel during the ski trip, the only way we could accomodate them was with a floorgy.

Get the Fire mug.Spinoff of VH1's hit series, I love the 80's, it consists of semi-celebraties reminissing about the not-so-distant past. Has a very misleading name. Should be called "I thought the 90's were kinda cool when they were happenening but now is the ideal time to make snide remarks about them"
Semi-celebraty: Braveheart is about Mel Gibson painting himself blue, and leading the Scots to victory. Isn't that wacky?

Get the I love the 90's mug.The act of popping up the collar of a polo shirt, so it covers the neck.
Twenty years ago kids in ghetto wore their collars popped, now it is a trend among frat boys and preps.
A common look for the frat boy is to wear a pink polo shirt with the collar popped. The pink shirt fools sorostitutes into thinking that frat boy is comfortable with his sexuality, when in reality, every sixth word out of his mouth is faggot.

And here we see a fine specimen of prep. Note the sandles with socks, meticulously groomed hair, and popped collar.
