not the sharpest duck in the china cabinet Is an odd variant of “not the sharpest knife in the drawer” and “like a bull in a china shop”
It is said that the term originates from the Great Plains/Lower Delta in the Midwest US. Most say the saying came from a notably dumb duck hunter. He didn’t understand the two aforementioned terms “not the sharpest knife in the drawer” and “like a bull in a china shop” but instead of learning what they meant he created the abomination of a saying “not the sharpest duck in the china cabinet” When the poor bastard said it the first time it caught everyone off guard. Everyone in the duck blind stopped what they were doing and begged for further elaboration of the slang term. He refused to elaborate. Without a concrete answer speculation ran wild but no could adequately explain it.
From that point onward the term disseminated across the country. Most people use it ironically for a replacement term. It has caused great confusion and hilarity over the decades

Get the use the good china mug.Meme popularized by mostly hit-game "ROBLOX" Players, In the meme there were 2 cups shown with one being the "woman face" a face that you can equip in ROBLOX and the cup on the right had a "man face" which also is a face you can equip on ROBLOX, there was also shown a plate which had the "winning smile" from ROBLOX inside of the plate. The video would have started and chinese-type music would have played and there was a "appear and dissapearing" effect where everytime it dissapeared a different camera angle was shown. The joke is that the "mother" told her son or daughter (It wasn't shown which gender it was) to place the dinnerware on the table which the mother named "luxury" and she was sure that the guests would be pleased with this dinnerware.
Mom: Honey we have guests over, bring out the fine china, Our guests will be so pleased with this luxury dinnerware!
Kid: Mom what the fuck
