Get the contrition mug.As opposed to a war of attrition, wherein two or more parties wear each other down over a period of time, a war of contrition is a situation where two or more parties won't stop apologising to each other.
Usually this happens because everyone is eager to avoid confrontation but if often leads to further disagreement.

Motorist #1: Oh, God - I scraped your door with my bumper! Let me pay for that...
Motorist #2: No, no, it's my fault, I shouldn't have parked there.
Motorist #1: Well that's hardly fair, I should have been looking where I was going.
Motorist #2: Look, there's no need to get upset, I've said it's my fault, and I'll deal with it.
Motorist #1: Mate, this was clearly my doing. Let me pay for it.
Motorist #2: Listen here - it's my car, I parked it badly on this corner, I accept full responsibility!
Motorist #1: FINE THEN! *rips wing mirrors off motorist #2's car*
Eyewitness: That was a real war of contrition right there.

Get the letter of contrition mug.Conditional DNP is a term used on the site E621.net which is a website hosting furry porn (Yiff).
The acronym means: 'conditional Do Not Post' this means that the artist whishes you not to repost it unless certain criterias are met. This is a tag on E621 which is shown in the artist category, this is why many people mistake it for an artist. (I did so myself, thats why i made this to help others)

Get the terms and conditions mug.A condition which a member of SHINee has. Named after the leader of SHINee, Lee Onew (Lee JinKi), the condition is quite contagious. If you are crashing into random things, tripping over your own feet, craving for chicken, or making lame jokes that make the atmosphere awkward, you might just have this condition. There is no cure for this condition, but it might warm your heart that you aren't the only person who is suffering from this condition.
This condition was first named when fans of SHINee, known as Shawols, noticed that Onew kept making cute mistakes. At first they thought that it was very cute of Onew, but as time passed, they began to suspect that Onew was doing this for fanservice, and began to worry that he would hurt himself. His fellow members, Key and Jonghyun, have confirmed that this condition is real, and that Onew is not acting.

Onew Condition is really cute to see.
I hope that Onew won't hurt himself because of his Onew Condition.
