Get the biffmug. Candy shaped into small, 1/4" tablets. Nine of them fit into a long, skinny toy called a "pez dispenser", which spits out one tablet everytime you tilt its head. For some reason, vintage pez dispensers have become collector's items.
"I had a Spiderman pez dispenser, and my sister had a Wonderwoman one, my mother refused to by any more pez after it ran out, because it was too expensive, it tasted pretty good, though."

Get the bad boymug. A chemical imbalance in the brain which produces notable physical discomfort. Can be caused either by too much alcoholic consumption, or too much sex.
Some people prefer water, tea, black coffee (ok, ok, _espresso_), Peptol Bismol, "hangover helper" pills, and the like, but the only real cure for a hangover is time.
Symptoms: headache, physical weakness, extremely upset stomach, and vomit all over the new carpet in your bathroom.

Get the on the strengthmug. A person (usually possessing thorough knowledge in no single field), who is talented at devising superficial "fixes," which are nothing more than auxiliary work-arounds for problems which eventually have to be solved "correctly" by a "trained professional."
Hackers are self-motivated, and learn through experimentation and persistence, as opposed to through "traditional" means.
Computer hackers do not completely fit this definition. Due to the high artificiality of computer technology itself, computer hackers must be highly knowledgable before they can implement their first successful "hack." For them, "hacks" are the product of brilliant insight and thorough investigation, rather than the talent and natural law that go with hacking in more humanity-driven fields, such as entertainment or sports.
Chess masters have a similar level of mental discpline, although many hackers tend to lack the attention span necessary to be good at chess :')
Many people would tend to disagree, but then again many people are not skillful enough to be called a "hacker."

Get the hackermug. The amount of screaming one generates, in proportion to the amount of real content they are communicating.
People who grow up in empty households (often with a lot of older people) feel as though noise and signal are in direct proportion, which causes them to pump more noise in the hopes of generating more signal.
