Get the Crapalystmug. Feces that defy gravity and remain on your asshole when the majority falls into the bowel where it belongs. Not common, a cliffhanger will appear under the right circumstances (eating beans and watching Sylvester Stallone movies). Cliffhangers are similar to a stalactite in a cave.
Spotting a cliffhanger in the reflection of the toilet, I contract and expand my sphincter in an attempt to pinch it off. Once I realize those actions are futile, I take three sheets of tp, for 3x the protection, and un-mount the cliffhanger.

Get the Cliffhangermug. (adj.)
1. Literally, indicative of a sparing application. Frugal.
2. In the U.S., commonly used by many members of the Republican Party to contrast themselves with liberal politicians, commonly of the Democratic Party.
3. Originally used by Republican Party (U.S.) members to mean conservative application of laws, or minimal government.
4. In modern times, used to indicate existing or past values as opposed to new values. In this sense, "conservative" refers to personal behavior rather than the use of laws. A synonym for this definition would be "unchanging."

Usage notes:
When using the word, it is important to note whether it is used to refer to a political theory/system or personal values/behavior.
In the case of number 3 above, both the Republican and Democratic parties hold conservative _political_ values (in that they want minimal government regulation), but about different subjects. For example, the Democratic Party typically believes in conservative (minimal) use of laws regarding drugs, sexual practices, and film/TV. The Republican Party does not follow conservative political theory in those matters, but does for issues of taxation, guns, and employment practices.
However, even though both parties hold conservative political values in some cases, neither maintains a consistant philosophy based on conservative application of government regulation. Both the Republican and Democratic parties in the U.S. use the word to refer to enforcing conservative _personal_values_ (such as those influenced by religious background or otherwise, see number 4 above), but with differing opinions as to whether or not it is a good thing.
The original political use for the word conservative, as in number 3 above, is more similar to the political adjective/noun libertarian in use today, which describes a philosophy of minimal government,

Get the polyamorousmug. A piece of Internet humor involving mathematical word problems set in an urban context, involving murder, drugs, and prostitution. Real teachers have gotten in trouble for giving this test to students, which they probably deserved due to their stupidity.

In my experience always seemed to happen in the snowy months: Slipping on the snow when jumping across the creek, stepping through the thin ice on the side of a pond, falling through a spring snow bank that has been hollowed out by the thaw's runoff.

Bob McKenzie is standing knee-deep in a vat of beer which is quickly rising:
"My brother and I used to say that drownin' in beer was like heaven, eh? Now he's not here, and I've got two soakers... this isn't heaven, this sucks."
