Get the bumphmug. Someone who habitually snorks during an enthusiastic bout of laughter.
Snorkers are often subject to extreme or mild embarrassment, usually accompanied by flushing and/or rapid covering of the mouth. Occasionally snorkers appear to be well accustomed to their habit of snorking, and merely smile afterwards.
Anyone who snorks multiple times on a regular basis may be suspected of being a fake snorker.

Get the snorkermug. Lips attached to male lawyers, or possibly even law students, which are the focus of attention among certain groups of females.

Get the lawyer lipsmug. Slippery, pernicious material frequently found in bathtub and shower areas. Hazardous and unsanitary substance common to the interior of tubs and other bathing facilities. Good housekeeping is the most effective intervention strategy.
NOTE: 1) Bathtub accidents are a popular form of "accidental" death in the American cinema. 2) Falls are the 2nd most common cause of accidental death in the US.
Critical considerations:*
"Accidents in the bathtub and shower area can be defined as a complex, time dependent system of components interacting simultaneously and sequentially to produce injury."
"The slipperiness of most bathtub surfaces constitutes the chief hazard... Bathtubs far exceed shower stall in accident potential."(*Findings FROM: "A Systematic Program to Reduce the Incidence and Severity of Bathtub and Shower Area Injuries, FINAL REPORT June 4,1975")
