Get the duodeco mug.Located in the county of Constanta, Romania, Dulcești is an absolute hellscape populated with thieves, muggers and gypsies. A place of severe poverty and violence, those who claim to be from Dulcești need to be avoided and placed under careful observation, checking one's pockets is advised.

Get the Dulcești mug.The word you say when your friends are trying to get you to say ‘deduce’ but you don’t want to give them that satisfaction so you just say ‘duce’
“Deuce” you say, as you walk out of the dorm room, like an idiot, because no one cares about that word they just wanted you to say ‘deduce’
