Mugging is a STUPID slang.

Recently, I have been hearing the word 'Mugging' being used more and more often. Mugging sucks. All my friends have very similar idea of the word 'mugging' as studying very hard.

But I don't get it. How the hell can the word 'Mug', a drinking cup, usually cylindrical in shape, having a handle, and often of a heavy substance, as earthenware, have any association with the word 'study', application of the mind to the acquisition of knowledge, as by reading, investigation, or reflection?

When I first saw the word mugging in one of my friend's e-mail address, it didn't make sense at all to me because at that time, the term 'mugging' means a drinkable cup with 'ing' at the end to show that someone is actually 'doing a drinkable cup', which doesn't make sense.

I was right. Mugging is not studying. Stop using the word 'Mugging' when you are referring to studying, you don't sound cool or impressive. You just sound stupid. Because when you say you are mugging, you are actually doing this.


You are actually assaulting someone. With the intention of robbing.

So please stop using the word mugging.

If you use it, you really need to learn some new slang.
