Get the talk about pierce the veilmug. Phrase invented in the early 1900s that merely means that you have to use the restroom. Some also use it because they do not want to reveal the true nature of their business.

Get the See a princess about a ponymug. The list that drove the internet (and feminists by proxy) crazy.
