Get the P.E.B.K.A.C. mug.The P.08 Luger is the pistol used by Germany through both World Wars as well as by many other countries. The Luger was originally chamered in 7.65 Luger, which was a shortened 7.63 Mauser cartridge. The first model Luger was invented in 1898 by Georg Luger, and it was highly based off of the Borchard pistol, but was a much more compact, and useful design.
They were originally just called the P.08, but they are known as Lugers after their inventer's name.
The model we know today most popularly, is the Model P.08 Luger, introduced in 1908 as the standard sidearm of the German military. It deviated from previous lugers by eliminating the grip safety and being chambered in 9mm Parabellum, which is the 7.65 Luger casing redesigned to fit a 9mm projectile as requested by the Wehrmacht(German Army.)
The 9mm cartridge is used by the U.S. Military currently in the M9, and is the NATO standard pistol cartridge.
There were many manufacturers of Lugers, some of the most popular being Mauser, DWM, Kreighoff, and others. The German Army used a 4" Barrel version, which is most popular, while the Navy's version had a 6" barrel. Artillery crews had 10" barrels. Lugers have an 8 round capacity, however drum magazines made for the Artillery Lugers hold many more rounds.
Lugers were known to be extremely accurate, even by todays standards, due to the fixed barrel design. They operate off of the Maxim toggle action that the first machineguns used. Lugers were made to extremely high tolerances, and fit together with immense precision. Lugers with all matching parts and in good condition with original finish can be worth a lot of money today. In 1938, the German military was mainly producing the Walther P38 because it was a far cheaper design due to the lack of required hand fitting. Lugers were produced until the end of World War II however. Lugers are the first practical semi-auto pistols to be made, and were extremely influential in the world of handguns. They are also fabulously beautiful pistols and pieces of history and art, well sought after by collectors.

Get the P.I.G. mug.From an old printer's axiom. Back in the early days of printing presses, each line of text had to be set up one letter at a time. Since the letters in the press were reversed (so they'd print forward), the printmaker (or typographer) needed to be careful not to confuse one letter for the other.

Get the P's and Q's mug.Nickname for Pocomoke City, also called Potsmoke City (just replace two letters and it describes the town perfectly). P-City is a small town located on the eastern shore of Maryland. For the most part, the population consists of extreme red-necks and wanna-be thugs. Everyone in P-City likes to party like it's 1999. Also, the people of this town have thier own signature call (simliar to a bird call, only locals call it the "weed call") to identify each other in a crowd, which sounds like an "oui!". Soccer and basketball are huge sports in this town, because it's too small for a football team.
