Get the decorum mug.
Decorum
That annoying word that moderators at conferences always use. The status of maintaining quiet and abiding the rules. Pretty much means you should shut the fuck up.
When the delegates at the Model UN conference were sending innapropriate notes and talking, the moderator screamed "Decorum"

"It's great to be an asshole, but you don’t want to be a total asshole. There's a balance that must be struck. Assholes who are total assholes suffer too much backlash for their nature and are generally considered insufferable by all. Thus, you must learn to follow proper asshole decorum and fall under the Goldilocks Zone of Acceptable Asshold'em. You have accomplished this when people say things about you like 'he's funny, but he's an asshole', or 'I like Dave, but he's kind of an asshole.' That's the Goldilocks zone. You want people to compliment you, or express fondness for you, but then immediately feel the need to point out that you’re an asshole. So here are 10 rules to be a proper asshole with impeccable asshole decorum."

Grammatical Decorum
A long-forgotten art of language mastery that once graced the realms of the written and spoken word. It's all about showing respect to grammar by adhering to its rules and structures like a boss. When you possess grammatical decorum, you wield the power to impress, persuade, and avoid embarrassing language blunders.
- When Brenda saw her friend's atrocious grammar in a text message, she couldn't help but cringe. Armed with her red pen emoji, she swooped in to save the day, sprinkling grammatical decorum all over the conversation like fairy dust.
- Dude, that guy's got serious grammatical decorum skills. His emails are like symphonies of correctness, and I can't help but feel inferior when I read mine aloud.
