Get the Teniii mug.n. A sport that involves either one on one matches or tag-teaming for a 2 on 2 match. Requires massive amounts of eye-hand coordination and stamina because unless you're playing doubles, you are on your own running around a court for several hours after balls that fly as a fast as a paintball. Tennis is considered a "gentleman's" sport, so gloating, taunting or showing signs of frustration is often looked down upon. To add to the "gentleman" aspect of the game, spectators are to keep quiet and watch respectfully at all times, though brief clapping is acceptable. Basically, next to golf, tennis is the quietest sport in the world.
"Dude, I went to watch my friend play this tennis match the other day, but I wasn't even allowed to cheer or yell! It was pretty boring... but those tennis chicks are really hot."
