Get the O'rourke mug.A type of internal combustion engine consisting of a triangular rotor which rotates in an eccentric orbital motion around a epitrochoid housing. Advantages of this design are a compact size, mechanical simplicity (a two rotor engine has only three moving parts), high potential power output proportional to size, lightweight, high-revving and extremely smooth in operation. Disadvantages include high rate of fuel and oil consumption, complex sealing arrangement and high seal count, weak torque, more fragile than a four-stroke piston engine, and lower long term reliability. Also known as a Wankel engine (pronounced 'Vonkel') after it's inventor, Dr Felix Wankel.

Get the returd mug.Return riggors occurs when you want to return a gift to the store but have no good reason but that is a useless piece of junk or an ugly piece of clothing.
It is easy to pinpoint this strange feeling of anxiety mixed with a definite need to get away from the gift, as well as the store from which it came. Sweaty palms holding the item and a story to match the situation can be almost traumatic bordering on that "fight or flight" feeling.
Later, could also include a feeling of freedom after mission accomplished and you feel a breeze of "all clear" as you stroll back to your vehicle unencumbered & well, "free".
