Outside the Mug, Question 3:

In Australia "mug" is a slang term for a mark or a sucker. It is popularly held that "you can't educate a mug".

Now we all know that inside the mug there's a low-grade brain. What might be outside the mug? Describe his environment as well as the people trying to exploit him.

  • Well from some personal experience here, I would visualize your 'mug' as rolling along in a bubble of sweetness and light, utter trust...angels hovering over...
    Whilst all the hip intelligent people trying to scam him/her end up tripping over their own shoelaces.

  • That is perhaps the kindest description of a mug I've ever heard. And it's not at all inaccurate.

    Not sure if this will "translate".

    In a British sitcom a few years ago, one of the "wide boy" characters described himself as a "crockery transporter". When asked to elaborate, he said "I take mugs for a ride."

  • Ya gotta love the subtlety of British humour. 
    It translates just fine.
