A term coined by Douglas Rushkoff in an episode of PBS's "Frontline" entitled "The Merchants of Cool." Mooks are archetypal young males(teens-early 20s) who act like moronic boneheads. They are self centered simpletons who live a drunken frat-boy lifestyle(or are frat-boys). Examples can be found anytime someone watches "Jackass." Rushkoff claimed that the media glorifies this ideal and stifles natural self expression, however, some people might argue teenage boys have always acted like morons(its actually a long-standing stereotype). Nonetheless, standardized conformist dumbass-culture behind a veneer of exhuberance is a scary notion indeed.
Opposite of Mooks are Midriffs; oxymoronic innocent skanks who are modeled after Britney Spears.

Get the echo bravomug. A Japanese car company that covers the "really cheap" bottom end of the market. Their cars are usually quirky and whimsical, especially their concepts. Pretty much unknown in US.
The only company to ever produce a Hello Kitty car.

Get the Daihatsumug. A car preferred by middle aged women when they have their own mid-life crisis of sorts.
It handles pretty well too.

Get the Miatamug. Something that the world needs that's decades overdue and would be fucking awesome should it ever happen...but probably wont due various reasons. Examples include:
1. DUH! Democracy in Red China. Every time they seem to make progress, shit like big mama(commie internet censorship system) and tienamen square happen.
2. That one Eponymous Guns N' Roses album that Axl has been working on for like twenty years.
In hindsight, probably the absolute most (unintentionally?) genius album title ever.

Get the chinese democracymug. Main character of show by the same name. Full name Angus Macgyver. Part secret agent for government and phoenix foundation, part handyman, part mad scientist, part community service volunteer. He might refuse to use guns, but nobody could ever call him a pussy. Macgyver can battle soviet supersoldiers and serve soup at a homeless shelter all in one episode. Macgyver was the epitome of 1980s era optimism. Beats the commies, fixes the environment, cures aids, and can make a helicopter out of garbage bags and bamboo. Most importantly, he's the only guy who ever looked cool in a mullet and is probably the only guy who could get away with it now.
Who'd win in a fight? Macgyver or Col Jack O'Neal from Stargate SG-1?
Trivia: On episodes where Macgyver makes explosives from household materials, the producers always leave out one ingredient, fearing that people at home would imitate the recipe. While most inventions and scientific wizardry seen on the show probably wouldnt work too well in real life, they're all scientifically sound and Could work.

Get the Macgyvermug. "Mom? Can I grow up to be a rapper?"
'No, Billy, because you don't know how to rhyme.'
"Oh mom! Don't be silly! I can just be like dipset."
