Get the stoopidmug. A typo (one-letter keyboarding mistake, typewriter mistake) that the spell-check function cannot pick up because the word is spelled correctly -- although not for the word you wanted to key in. They are called "atomic typos" because the change of just one letter completely changes the word, although it remains spelled correctly in terms of the spell check function
Examples:
Chris, instead of Christ
war, instead of was
bite, instead of byte
massage, instead of message
Quote: "Wow, the newspaper had an atomic typo on the front page, the writer meant to say "message" but what appeared in the article was "massage". Oops! That's a real atomic typo, and there's very little one can do to stop them!"

Get the atomic typomug. (N.) -- When you buy a sandwich in a convenience store thinking that from the looks of the meat or fish or vegetable filling facing out to you on the shelf that it will be full of that filling all the way into the sandwich as well. But when you buy the sandwich and unwrap it, it's barely full of the filling at all, and in fact the outer edge is all you get; the inside of the sandwich was basically empty.
''I bought a tuna sandwich at 7-Eleven and there was only a small helping of actual tuna inside -- what a sandtease! It was a completely eye-catching piece of display sales fakery. I hate that!"
