Get the Hap mug.

hap

"hap" is a relatively new word, with limited explanation, as i believe to be true:
'hap' can be used to decribe something to be like hap, or as hap.
hap is the right way to do something (like ettiquette), the fast, simple, new, technologically developed way to do something. You could say "nah, dont send mail by post, use E-mail, its hap"
hap is a very positive word wit ha lot of uses!
You could can describe an idea or an object or place as hap too, examples being, (loosely) freedom, a night club or beach, (highly energetic happy environment and atmosphere).
Hap is also used as a goodbye or pickup expression, to mean well (akin to 'may the force be with you' as may only good things happen for you etc.
hap = good karma? :)

"nah, dont send mail by post, use E-mail, its hap"
"dude, that club is HAP!"
"aww come on mate, its not that bad, *hap*"
