Get the Newmanning mug.Netan means some who has been send by the god in Hebrew. It also mean a charmer who has a way with ladies. You will see someone named Netan around ladies getting laid. They do have a downside, they have a hard getting into a serious long term relationship but that doesn't mean they can't get into on. They also have a very great sense of humour. Basically they have jokes in their head and are a beast on the bed.
