Get the Spockblock mug.Similar to a cockblocker, the shockblocker is reserved for those attempting to block a lesbian hook-up. Although this hook-up may not really involve the shocker (two in the pink, one in the stink)... it will definitely involve at least two fingers and not a cock, and so shockblocker is the most appropriate term.
I tried to hook up with her, but her friend was being such a shockblocker.
