Metaphorical description of the side of the moon facing away from Earth. It was named "dark" only because it was "dark" to our existing knowledge in the many years before space probes existed. This meaning has unfortunately been misunderstood in modern times to mean that one side of the moon is always dark, which is incorrect.

Get the dark side of the moon mug.The game of hearts is scored in a golf sort of way. The lower the score the better. Usually the game is played to 100; when one player reaches one hundred, the game ends. If playing for money, payoff is based on point differential, but it has many variations.
All hearts are worth a point each, and the queen of spades is 13.
So you have one of two objectives in each hand: sluff off as many hearts and the Queen as possible to stay low or ... if you think you have the hand, "shoot the moon" by capturing all the hearts and the queen. If you do, each of your opponents is "assessed" 26 points. (shooting the moon)
It's a great play, but a risky one. A player looking to shoot the moon often gets all but say 1 or 2 points. So instead of his opponents being hit for 26 each, they get zero and you would eat 24 points(if another player had, say, 2 hearts)

Get the I love you to the moon and back mug.
Verb - when you are growling out a girl and you accidently miss and lick her...well we could sugar coat it and call it her moon, but yes we are talking about her sphincter. This is awkward for both parties, so much so that the giver lets out a growl of disgust in a wolf like fashion.
