Get the crown of brownmug. by GhettoGeek June 4, 2015
Get the crown snatchmug. The most prized possession or achievement.
Also a reference to colonial India. India was the British Empire's most important colony: the most populous, the most valuable, the most strategic.
Using "jewel in the crown" to refer to colonial India can also be a play on words about a real crown jewel -- the Koh-i-Noor Diamond, a large precious stone. The Diamond was taken after the defeat of the Indian Punjab by the British East India Company and subsequently mounted in the crown of queens of the British Empire. The current Queen Elizabeth II, aware that wearing the jewel offends many Indians, displays the Diamond in the Tower of London.
Because of the weight of the colonial heritage of the phrase, care must be taken when using the phrase to avoid being racist or insulting. If you lack understanding then it is best to avoid the phrase.
The phrase is often used in a jingoistic fashion in English tabloid newspapers, a recollection of the glory days of the British Empire.
The "Jewel in the Crown" is the title of the first of four books written by Paul Scott in 1966. The books are set during the closing decades of the British Raj. In 1984 these books were made into a television mini-series which was acclaimed for its high quality. Both works have a complex and unsentimental view of colonial India, making the title intentionally ironic.
With both jingoistic and ironic uses of "jewel in the crown" being common, readers should consider in what sense the phrase is meant.

Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister of Britain, is said to have called India "the brightest jewel in the crown of the British Empire".

Get the Jewel in the crownmug. A weak male orgasm in which the semen has no velocity to properly exit the tip therefore dribbling over the head. A quote crown of jizz.

Get the White Crownmug. A person who feels/thinks/ or is in a position of power but indulges in the feeling of greatness from it. These people get absolutely arrogant and become such assholes with their feeling of power that they belittle others and overestimate themselves. In other words, they're selfish delusional pricks with imaginary crowns on their heads.
Another way you can say this is: Crown Of Nitrogen

Person 1: These dickheads in my class won't stop bothering me, they think that they rule the fucking world just because they're part of the student council.
Person 2: Don't listen to those fuckwits, they think peaking is cool but high school is temporary, their position of being a student council won't matter anymore. All they have on their heads are nitrogen crowns, they think they're kings but they're not.

Get the Nitrogen Crownmug. by anonymous June 16, 2022
Get the Coffee Crowningmug. Crowning the bowl is a term used to describe a shit so large in mass that it actually breaks the surface of the toilet water.
Roomate #1; wtf bro, the toilet is clogged. You could at least plunge that shit out.
Roomate #2; My bad dude, thought it went down. I ended up crowning the bowl. My shit came up for air.
