Get the I Am The Fastest Woke In The United Stated Of America mug.by Thebutcher June 12, 2019
Get the Just woke up the butcher. mug.Alt: Got up on the wrong side of the bed. (Past Tense)
An expression that is typically used to describe a grumpy or irritable person, especially when the reason for their unhappiness is unknown.
It can also be used to describe when somebody wakes up in a bad mood which then lasts all day, possibly because they didn't get enough sleep or had an unpleasant dream the night before.
The phrase dates back to Ancient Rome, where it was considered bad luck to get out of bed from the left side, which itself originated in a very old superstition saying that everything related to the left-hand side was inherently unlucky. The modern English expression reflects that myth with a tongue-in-cheek play on words, suggesting that a grouchy person must have gotten out of bed on the "wrong" side, as opposed to the "right" side.

Get the Woke up on the wrong side of the bed mug.Meaning 1: Waking up with your head at the foot of the bed. The upper part of the bed is generally where you lay. It is considered more luxurious because of pillows, stuffed animals, etc, therefore being "wealthy". The foot of the bed typically doesn't have anything adorning it, so therefore it is "poor", thus being the ghetto. Can also be referred to as "Christopher Columbusing", as you are in a place you haven't been in before.
