Mugged off

My Monday gig involves making tea and coffee. My customers (except one) prefer a beaker, or mug, as I would call it. This is just part of the eclectic assortment; and don't forget who has the bone china mugs, or the stoneware!

 

"Mugged off" is a fairly old English expression that means to treat someone like a fool (or badly). "Some melt tried to mug me off the other day, so I had to give him some schooling."

I love language!
