What I meant was that, to the layperson, any figural drinking vessel is refered to as a "Tiki Mug". I see your point of how Tiki=Tropical to most people, and I don't know if that is always a bad thing (until it involves Jimmy Buffet but that's a whole 'nother thread) since "Tiki", as many here at TC embrace it, does consist of tropical, beachcomber, hawaiiana, etc. elements melded together to create their own slice of paradise. But back to mugs... I like your motto of "If it says Tiki on it, it should have Tiki in it (or on it)". Correct. A "tiki" mug should be in the form of a tiki. Otherwise it's a (insert figure here) mug from a tiki themed establishment. Lemme buy ya a drink... Aloha, :tiki:
