Unfortunately we get caught up in semantics when it comes to the genre of "Tiki"
I like to ground it in the historical sense, but we have to call it Tiki today
when in the age of Tiki bars on every block (what? you didn't have one on every block in your city :) )
the term "Tiki" may not have been spoken literally.

So even the butt ugly nothing to do with the tiki of today mugs, have a set history of a place & time
so I myself count them as a mug or as we would say today "Tiki Mug" of a legit "Tiki Origin".

I would label most of what all us associate today with the term "Tiki" as more of an idealistic interpretation.
