Get the fo' shacka my cracka mug.Originated in Hawaii-
Our great great grandfather Hamana Kalili invented it.
It all started with a bang. One afternoon he was down at Kane'ohe Bay tinkering with his fishing boat, as he often did. When the daily drizzle rolled in, he began to wrap up his project in a hurry and crossed two wires that should never have been crossed…BOOM! Old Grand-pappy blew his three middle fingers clear off—on both hands.
Once the smoked cleared, he hollered out, “Oooeee! That was quite a shaka. But, no worries, at least I still have my thumbs and pinkies.”
Soon after, Grand-pappy became a living legend for truly embodying the Aloha Spirit: Everything is gonna be alright, no matter what.
When locals passed him on the beach, they’d wave a friendly hello. Grand-pappy would smile and wave back—with only his thumb and pinky, of course. The locals soon followed suit and the shaka gesture was born.
So, whether you’re shacked in a deep barrel on a double overhead day at Trestles, or cruisin’ down PCH in your 1973 VW bus, be sure to flash a friendly shaka to your fellow Shaka People…and remember our great great grand-pappy Hamana.

To make a shaka:
1. make a fist (not a tight fist)
2. extend both your pinky and your thumb.
3. lightly shake your hand
Remember-only bust out the shaka when you are super stoked!

Get the Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit mug.Shakari is actually two words made for one perfect fit...Shaka is the term wild, outrageous and full of fire. It also means tough, and high tempered when someone does shaka wrong- she instantly dismisses them..Ari is defined by sweet, beautiful, a sense of awe in presence.. when Ari loves, she loves deeply and has a certain respect for who she loves. Shakari means that this young lady is hot and cold- only if you respect her and love her back. She is born to be a star or a highly known figure in her time...be careful- she just might surprised you in every adventure she partakes in. She is very talented in EVERYHTING she does and is a fast learner. Be careful of how you treat her- she is most likely known to have a best friend called karma.
