been on here for about a month now and have come across the term CUPS being used quite a lot and have gleaned that it refers to magic props that you buy and then never use, right? I was just wondering how the term came about? what does it meeeeeean? I'm going mad here, i MUST know. Please

Originally 'Uncontrollable' rather than 'Unavoidable' as that excuses our compulsion - but whatever floats your boat!

Also see "unnecesarry"

I always though it meant "Completely Useless Piece (of) Sh1te"....

I thought the U stood for "Unnecessary".

I believe that Mandrake once said that no magic purchase was unnecessary

Or, to put it another way - no magic purchase is necessary.
