Get the China mug.
not the sharpest duck in the china cabinet Is an odd variant of “not the sharpest knife in the drawer” and “like a bull in a china shop”
It is said that the term originates from the Great Plains/Lower Delta in the Midwest US. Most say the saying came from a notably dumb duck hunter. He didn’t understand the two aforementioned terms “not the sharpest knife in the drawer” and “like a bull in a china shop” but instead of learning what they meant he created the abomination of a saying “not the sharpest duck in the china cabinet” When the poor bastard said it the first time it caught everyone off guard. Everyone in the duck blind stopped what they were doing and begged for further elaboration of the slang term. He refused to elaborate. Without a concrete answer speculation ran wild but no could adequately explain it.
From that point onward the term disseminated across the country. Most people use it ironically for a replacement term. It has caused great confusion and hilarity over the decades

There's so much more bing bong China on Amazon these days, I end up looking elsewhere for a simple USB cable.
