Get the Fry's Electronics mug.Acronym for "College Preperatory Mathematics." A non functional method for teaching middle and high school level math.
Instead of actual textbooks, CPM classes use cheap paperbound workbooks that have absolutely nothing useful in them. While real textbooks include instructions, tables, equations, and examples that make it possible to learn by book alone, CPM books usually have none. CPM also places emphasis on (barely) supervised groupwork in the hopes that it helps students visualize mathematical concepts. Actually, all it does is destroy a student's ability to work on his/her own.
Teachers of such classes assume that CPM workbooks actually are textbooks and so don't really bother instructing students.

Get the CPM mug.A rather brutal and secretive group of prison gangs in South Africa.

The 28 Gang also has a system for distributing sex between new recruits and established members. Recently featured on a BBC documentary.

Get the Party mug.A brand of sneaker with a removable slick plastic plate in the soles, under the arch of the foot. The plate enabled the wearer to grind on rails and edges without the aid of skates or a board. Style-wise, they tended to be pretty chunky looking, similar to skate shoes, but were probably not as comfortible. They were cool for only a few months in 1998-99, but were popular enough to cause concern among parents and schools. Succeeded by Heelys a couple years later, which had heel-mounted weels and were uglier and even less comfortible. Soaps is now a defunct maker.
Haha, my cousin saved up for a vintage pair of Soaps and broke his jaw the first week after he got 'em!
