Get the chindo mug.Chindie kids are chavs that try to be indie.
They loves skinny jeans, cardigans and plimsoles. Their idea of indie music is the kooks.
They also keep their eye open for new indie trends that they may never have heard of and obsess over the few indie kids they may know.
They grow a sudden love for art and fashion, but by fashion they mean reading teenvogue and copying the outfits of Alexa Chung or floral skirts with vest tops.
They're also taking over Urban outfitters. Well they can't really afford the clothes from there, but they sit on their website all day long :)

Get the Chinedu mug.A long range penetration group that waged a guerrilla war in Burma in 1943 and 1944-5 against Japan during the Pacific War. Named after a creature in Burmese mythology known as the Chinthe.
The Chindits are one of many examples of how modern warfare as we know it started in the second world war.

Get the chidube mug.Chinues are beautiful and awesome and silly as hell. Chinues will always be there for you unless they don't like you or find you creepy. Chinues are crazy, talkative and and a little lazy. They tend to be EXTREMELY perverted but lovable. You will never find anyone like her unless you look for an Ansley, Brittany, Kori, Melanie, Sidney, or a Jessica. :)
A chinue might say, "Cock-cah"
"When it rains you gotta pull it all the way out." Ansley's would repond, "THEN STICK IT BACK IN!!!!!!!"
