Get the herpingmug. An STD which people are incredibly ignorant about.
1 in 5 American adults have genital herpes, and 80% of those are not even aware of it. This means that you don't have to be a slut to have herpes! Everyone is at risk, and all it takes is one enounter to get it. You can even get it if you use a condom, because it is spread from skin-to-skin contact as opposed to through body fluids.
Cold sores (which is oral herpes) + oral sex = potential genital herpes. 80% of people have oral herpes. You do the math.
It is a very mild disease, just a minor skin condition. I can't blame anyone for wanting to protect themselves from it, but it is blown waaay out of proportion in society. It's not AIDS or cancer, for fuck's sake.
Although there is no cure for herpes, infected people can have a hard time with it because of the unfair stigma that is attached to herpes in our society.

Get the Herpmug. Herpes. Some people say herpes, some say "the herpes" (see hick), and some say "the herps." If you say "herps" you MUST add the "the." (If not, it just sounds dumb: "I've got herps, man.")

Get the the herpsmug. A reptile or amphibian, derived from "herpetology."
As usual, complete idiots come on to Urban Dictionary and make misspell their STD's.

Get the herpmug. "When I was first diagnosed with genital herpes -- an incurable, lifelong sexually transmitted disease -- I felt like I had been given a death sentence. The initial pain from the genital herpes outbreak (which included bleeding sores and genital lesions) was overwhelming and overbearing." - Gina's Story

Get the herpesmug. A sexually transmitted disease contracted by those whose sexual arousal has taken over their nerve cells, therefore forgetting to use a condom. And since nowadays according to close-minded non-intellectuals, (which make up about 63% of the population) being a virgin makes you a "loser", we have people with Herpes lying around all over the place. Just remember everyone: No glove, no love.
