Get the Blatnik mug.Spanish shoe designer who soared to popularity after the debut of Sex and the City, but has soled the feet of the wealthy for decades prior. His name is commonly mentioned in rap lyrics and glorified by the culture of excess, and he is accredited with pioneering the infamous Timberland stiletto boot craze. His handmade, expensive shoes bearing his name are largely considered the eptiome of luxury and chic by the fashion cognoscenti. The shoes themselves can also be referred to as "Manolos" or "Blahniks" for short.

Get the beatniks' rights under neptune's oar mug.A form of applause whereby the middle finger and thumb of both hands are repeatedly snapped/clicked instead of clapped. Beatnik applause was developed in the cafes of the 1950s/1960s by the Beatnik/Beat Generation. Many "Beat Poet" fans of this period now suffer from severe arthritic inflammation of the thumb and middle finger.
POET: "The room suddenly went into a mad darkness. A spotlight pierced blackness like a white devil's knife. A voice rose and screamed. Words of beauty cutting my throat. A poem of life, of love, of doom. My years on Earth summed and fooled."

Get the Beatnik Applause mug.Basically the original, almost forgotten incarnation of the modern day hipster.
People think that hipsters are a new thing, but in reality have been around for years, the only difference is that a modern hipster mixes the beatnik style with indie, scene or emo.
They were a subculture of (mostly wealthy) young people in the 1950's that drank coffee, enjoyed art and music, wrote poetry, did psychedelic drugs, and smoked cigarettes. Practiced minimalism, and were very, very political. Men wore berets with striped shirts and sandals, and the women wore berets, little black dresses and scarves.
Would say slang things like "That's beat" and "daddy-O".
