coffee mug debugging

Just like the term Rubber duck debugging, which is in software engineering, a method of debugging code. The name is a reference to a story in the book The Pragmatic Programmer in which a programmer would carry around a rubber duck and debug their code by forcing themselves to explain it, line-by-line, to the duck. Many other terms exist for this technique, often involving different inanimate objects.

The "coffee mug debugging" is the same method of debugging code with which developers force themselves to read and explain their code line-by-line, to the coffee mug. There are developers who calls this planted plot debugging as well. But "coffee mug debugging" seems more convenient at this century since it's easy to find a coffee mug for a developer than a "rubber duck" or "planted plot".
I had done coffee mug debugging for my dart code in flutter and found out a syntax error and fixed it.

Meat Mugging

to visually show your desire to covet ones penis
on that night I realized his desire, eyes focused on my bulge, his lip was snarled tightly grasp between his teeth and so I ran from Stevo the midnight meat mugging bandit never looking back. My dreams will always be hunted by what I can only describe as a shrill it reminds me of a pig crying

a mug

is the study of numbers, shapes and patterns. The word comes from the Greek word "μάθημα" (máthema), meaning "science, knowledge, or learning", and is sometimes shortened to maths (in England, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand) or math (in the United States and Canada).
