A mug is a type of cup typically used for drinking hot beverages, such as coffee, hot chocolate, soup, or tea. Mugs usually have handles1 and hold a larger amount of fluid than other types of cup. Usually a mug holds approximately 12 US fluid ounces (350 ml) of liquid;2 double a tea cup.citation needed A mug is a less formal style of drink container and is not usually used in formal place settings, where a teacup or coffee cup is preferred. Shaving mugs are used to assist in wet shaving.
Ancient mugs were usually carved in wood or bone, or shaped of clay, while most modern ones are made of ceramic materials such as bone china, earthenware, porcelain, or stoneware. Some are made from strengthened glass, such as Pyrex. Other materials, including enameled metal, plastic, or steel are preferred, when reduced weight or resistance to breakage is at a premium, such as for camping. A travel mug is insulated and has a cover with a small sipping opening to prevent spills. Techniques such as silk screen printing or decals are used to apply decorations such as logos or images, which are fired onto the mug to ensure permanence.

Get the Mug mug.n. A slick, swick, spick-and-span contraption that Urban Dictionary tries to sell you no matter which word you look up. If you pour liquid into it, it won't spill(whoa! - IKR). Unless of course you have previously dropped it, or have forcefully impacted it as such that its physical properties have been altered. In such cases, it will have become a shard, an ex-mug, or simply, rekt.
Mugger: Don't panic; gimme all your dosh and nobody gets hurt!
Shop Owner: Can't you see I'm having me cuppa, you pillock?
