I think as a label, "Tiki mug", it works. It's really the only way to describe a drinking container that (almost universally) everyone understands. It's big, ceramic, holds a lot of booze (preferrably rum, but even the neophyte won't know that) and is shaped in a way that your hand has to really grab it. If you didn't call it a Tiki mug, what kind of mug do you call it?

Are we using Tiki as an adjective or a noun? :)

Is it "Tiki"? For me personally, not really, but I know a lot of people will and I don't have any problem with that at all. It's when the rules police come out that stuff stops being fun.

There's no "right" answer, right?
