Get the beatnik mug.
beatnik
A beatnik is an idiot.
Someone who thinks (or thought) it was the cool thing to drink coffee and recite poetry in between impatiently waiting for some other beatnik to finish reading his own shit poems and give the cue for your turn.
As Bukowski said of them at a party - 'I disliked them all immediately, sitting around acting clever and superior. They nullified each other.'

Idiot: Dude, that chick who hangs out at the coffee house and the gallery all day is sooo cool. She's like a total beatnik.
Other: No, she's an idiot.

Beatnik
Contrary to popular belief, Beatniks were not black beret, black turtleneck, dark sunglasses, goatee wearing kids who hung-out in dark cafes reading poetry. Allegedly, the word was coined by a reporter who combined the words beat—tired, worn out—short for Beat Generation, and nik, short for Sputnik, the World’s first space satellite, implying members of the Beat Generation (my parents’ generation, who were children in the 1940s and in their twenties in the 1950s) were Communists—and some of them were. There were real Beatniks though—what we in the States called Hippies (little Hipsters), the British called Beatniks. In virtually every way, they were one in the same. Beginning in the late ‘50s, the stereotype “Beatnik” we think of today was created as a marketing ploy to create a new subculture in order to sell anything from berets and sunglasses to cheap bongos. Hollywood contributed to the stereotype, but also portrayed Beatniks for what they really were, at times. A very realistic TV “Beatnik” was Maynard, played by Bob Denver, in The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis (1959).
When someone of the Beat Generation was asked “How are you,” the reply was inevitably— “Ah, you know me. I’m just beat.”
When a Beatnik was asked the same, he might have replied—“Hey Dad, don’t put me on a bummer with all that phony L7 stuff! Have another Martini and just slide me some skin, unless you really wanna rap!”
