Going out with the intent to entertain and be entertained by a group of admiring friends. Taken from the days of midevil royalty when the king would call his subjects for a big feast.
Maggie: "My phone is ringing off the hook and the texts are pouring in. Since we haven't been out in a week, everyone is desperate to see us."
Scarlett: "Oh, I know, same here."
Maggie: "I can go out Wednesday"
Scarlett: "Okay, it looks like we are holding court on Wednesday. I'll alert the subjects"

Get the holding courtmug. A court of old men who believe that they are allowed to control other peoples bodies because they all lived through WWI. These ancient freaks may not look like much, but be careful not to upset them they might just take your rights away just cause they can. And be careful not to kill a bug near them, it’s murder, because they are, in fact, cells.
Woman: I need to get an abortion please, I was SAed
Doctor: yeah ummmm nah, we can’t do that, if you want to you can go to jail for 15 years for it!
Woman: but my abuser will only be in prison for 5, how is that fair
Doctor: because you’ll be killing a non-breathing and non-functioning (on its own) clump of cells… duh
Woman: *Flabbergasted* but…
Doctor: do I need to call the police
Supreme Court: if you’re old enough to bleed, old enough to breed. You may be 16 but that sucks we guess but your fault for wearing that skirt.

Get the Supreme Courtmug. The place you go to when authority/institutions fail you and you need to air your grievances and need the public’s assistance to address your concerns and/or execute your demand.
“I’m gonna take this to Twitter court.”
“See you in Twitter court, bitch!”

Get the playing the courtsmug. A cool game in where you either play as a king or queen and answer questions from people/creatures that meet you with simple yes or no answers. Your choices will affect your kingdom's population, happiness and gold. You can lose the game from having 0 population
The game has an ending but it doesn't actually end. You can continue playing endlessly after the ending

Get the Sort The Courtmug. An imagined court which tries lawsuits against a specific word or phrase which is accused of being illogical, deceptive, fraudulent, or offensive to someone.
Word Court is currently trying the word HAMBURGER, LIPSTICK, BIRTH CONTROL, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, and others.
NARRATOR
Welcome to Word Court, where words go on trial.
SECRETARY
Today, we will hear oral arguments in case number 52-67-42, Consumers v Commercial Users of the word HAMBURGER.
JUDGE WORDY
Mr. Prosecuting Attorney, please state your case.
PROSECUTOR
Your honor and members of the jury. This class action lawsuit is against the individuals, businesses, and corporations which use the word HAMBURGER to get consumers to buy what they call hamburgers, but are really dead cow flesh sandwiches. They do so by indirectly saying that the dead animal flesh is a meat which is or contains HAM. That is a false statement. Ham is more expensive than beef because it is made from a cut of a dead pigs’s leg, processed, and preserved by adding salt and other spices. Ham is made around the world including regional specialties such as Westphalian ham, Spanish jamón, Italian Prosciutto, and Smithfield ham in the US. The curing process takes from 9–months to a year.
JUDGE
Thank you, Mr. Prosecutor. We will now hear the defense attorney.
DEFENSE ATTORNEY
Your honor and members of the jury, the facts you just stated make it clear that the word HAM does not belong in the word HAMBURGER. Hamburgers should be called beefburgers or meatburgers, not HAMBURGERS.
JUDGE
How do you clients plea?
My clients plea "nolo contendere",
and apologize to everyone for having used the word HAMBURGER.
