Thoughts on the word MUG
As I was falling asleep the other night I began to consider the word mug. A strange word as if you really think about it, it can only be defined by context, yet it can exist in so many contexts to begin with. There is the quantity that can be held in a mug, a person who is gullible and easy to take advantage of, part of the human face (`kisser' and `smiler' and `mug' are informal terms for `face' and `phiz' is British). It is a large cup with handle and usually cylindrical in shape. As an act, vis, to rob at gunpoint or with the threat of violence or to make faces at a camera. It can also be a term of endearment.
Consider this:
A mug with a mug mugged me. He hit me in the mug as he mugged for the security cameras, but the cop who saw it knew the mugs mug.
And there you have it, 7 mugs and we are still upright.
Make that 8.
Till next time,
Be mindful and awake
English is nothing.
