Get the chihuahuamug. short for \ shortened from \ shortened version of the prepositional phrase ‘on {TV}’ or ‘on {TV network-X}’. Preposistion used as a present-tense_particple-type adjective in sentences that answer or pose (dependent on whether the sentence is declarative or interrogative) the question as to ‘*When* {<a designated program> is on <television>}’.
This is an example of a shortened version of something which is repeatedly said over-and-over in English; another example is the ommition of 'that' or 'which' in the sense of “Why is it, that you always seem to be attracted the to food *I* like?”, which actually means “Why is it, that you always seem to be attracted the to food that\which *I* like?” Not exactly the same are these two, though similar enough to be compared, I feel.

Q: When is Family Guy on?
A: Family Guy is on FOX every Sunday at 9:00PM EST.
Person flipping through the satelite\cable\prescription tv channels, changing it at intervals of exactly two seconds: “Ugh, nothing good is on...”
Annoyed endurer: “There’s 999 channels to choose from!!--Pick one!!!”
Note: The above sentence breaks a rule as disregarded as split infinitives, ending a sentence with a preposition. It could be fixed to “There's 999 channels from which to choose!!--Pick one!!!”, though sounds awkward and stilted in such a form, even on a non-colloquial level.

Get the onmug. A tree which consisting of several stems with long compound leaves protuding of each. Colloquially, sometimes called a ‘stink tree’ due to its strong distinguishing odor. Also called ‘tree of heaven’, with no hyphens.
The tree-of-heaven originated in China, and was brought to North America in the early 1800s. Here in the States, they seldom grow to a very large size, though in China they do more frequently.

Get the :-pd-;mug. ..is short for ‘Adults Only’ (most extreme videogame rating in the States). See also: EC, K-A, E, E10+, T, M, AO, and ESRB.
GTA:SA is no longer rated 'M', but instead 'AO', and subsequesntly is no longer on the shelves, barely in stock at all.

Get the AOmug. (archaic definition) Was common in the South, as well as from the Shakespearian era and later, used as an adverb which could be translated as ‘very’, though without sounding as corny (honestly, anyone who succumbs to using ‘very’, or for that matter the verb ‘to go’<has a lot of different meanings> on a regular basis must not have a very large vocabulary). You will never hear the word ‘right’ used in this manner anymore, except by either:
A) an extremely aged geezer from the Deep South;
or
B) someone who studies etymology or finds word history particularly interesting, perhaps a Southerner
You may come across it used in this sense in a novel pertaining to a timeperiod\setting when in ’twas used, such as To Kill A Mockingbird{TKM}.
