like a mug 

Slang intensifier. If you do something like a mug, you do it particularly much, or fast, or often, depending on the word. If you say "She was runnin' like a mug," for example, you mean that she was running really fast. Some say that the phrase derives from "like a motherf___er." I don't know about that, but it's an equivalent statement, so maybe so. William Gates uses the phrase "like a mug" in one of his interviews in the 1994 masterpiece Hoop Dreams.
"I got 15 rebounds. I was jumpin' like a mug."
"You can't believe anything she told you. She was lyin' like a mug."

More from Urban Dictionary
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
