Mug (Insult)

Mug (Insult)

A mug is an insult reffering to someone as an idiot. It is traditionally asscociated with Cockney speaking areas. Despite its continued use in the english language, it has still not been recognised as its own word, with many thinking a person who uses the word is referring to a Mug, in the sense of the word being essentially a cup. It can also refer to ones face. [ [http://www.cam.co.uk/actresses/rachael-woo...e9e27894345ddc3] ]
