Get the bearded excellence mug.When a tech company outsources and offshores expensive jobs to a cheap 2nd or 3rd world labor location, they give that new place a lofty name, as if it's god's gift to their future success, while it generally displaces US or other western (expensive) workers.
They'll trade one a $100k/yr Java coder stateside for a half dozen Sanjeev's in the Center of Excellence in Bangalore.

Get the sexcellent mug.like if your boss has a low-end vocabulary and suggests that you work your day off in a way that you know you can't refuse you can give him a big smile and say, "Excrellent! I'll be here Saturday at 7am!" and if he even hears that you aren't saying excellent he will just think it's like all those other words he hears that he doesn't know and he'll infer from your smile and body language that it's something good. but really it isn't. and you keep your job too.

Get the CIA award for journalistic excellence mug.A perfect example of newspeak, commonly found in the US federal government and frequently found in the same sentence as 'diversity'. Excellence is an intangible noun derived in recent decades from an adjective meaning anything that is not directly in opposition to a mission statement. Basically it is supposed to mean 'good-ness', but better than good, really good. But without any increase in quality of work to back it up. So it can be anything from poor to mediocre to decent to great to outstanding.
In all concrete reality, excellence means nothing, but you'll see it everywhere to describe everything.
