Get the take the cakemug. by The Return of Light Joker November 9, 2010
Get the take the cakemug. When you or people did something so over the top outrageous, either good or bad, in the greatest of ways, that it literally excelled so far at what was done, there is no comparison in known history, to say someone else went further.
On top of everything they did, destroying that kids life, years later on, they after the girl they cost him to use as a leverage on him, this one really takes the cake, you honour.

Get the take the cakemug. To excell to the point of winning. Originated from slaves "cakewalking," a dance to imitate and make fun of ballroom dancing. Some slave owners would hold cakewalking competitions, and reward the winner with a piece of hoecake.
