Get the Nubs mug.
The outline of a man's genitalia often seen due either to the owner of said nub's shorts being too tight or an awkward arrangement having been made of the shaft and/or sac. Common signs of a Nub are when you see what looks as though it is a miniature erection. This is not to be mistaken with an actual erection because in no way is the owner of the nub aroused, often times he is more embarrassed for his poor choice in shorts or placement of shaft. There currently is no known cure for chronic nub syndrome other than to invest in new clothes, start a new habit of placement, or to find friends who enjoy such sights.

Team Member- *noticing his nub immediately* "no way your going out there like that! Your packing the biggest nub ive seen in years!"

Coach- "It's called self-respect! Put your sweats back on, your off the team! No one wants to see that shit."
