Get the IU mug.IU stands for I'm useless as if you failed at something and you know it, or you got hurt in a stupid way. Or, just generally, you think you're useless.
"I just slipped in front of my crush.. iu,"
Or
"I got my foot stuck under the table, iu"
And Also
"Wow i can't even tie my laces, iu"

Get the iu mug.Iu is a very mysterious boy. He acts as if he didn't care about anything but deep down he is sensible and fragile. He tries to control everything as a way of hiding his flaws. He is fun to be around and a new person once you get through all his layers, he turns to be caring and soft. Iu knows the most interesting facts about the most unexpected things and will keep you entertained for ours. He also has sleeping disorders so don't expect him to be awake before 4 pm nor give you attention during the mornings, Iu is a night owl.

Get the iu mug.An iú is an individual who has an addictive and charming personality, and is constantly being suffocated by others with love, adoration and affection. Often used as a compliment, though some users of the word tend to be bitter of the phrase.
Iús are incredibly popular and likable especially among peers. They tend to have many admirers and fans and often end up working in jobs more suited to their performing talents, such as acting, directing and performing arts.

e.g: 'Oh my God, she's such an iú, I wish I was her'
'They're acting like they're iús, bless them'
'I was treated like I was a proper iú!'
