Used to announce the arrival of fresh, hot fried rice, usually just off a ship or cooking line. A way to signal something amazing, steamy, and worth dropping everything for.
Origin – The Chronicles of Steam and Salt (circa 603 CE)
Legend holds that during the reign of Emperor Gǔ Tán of the Jade Coast, the empire faced a culinary famine. The emperor, a devout lover of wok-fried rice, decreed that no grain of mediocre rice shall be served within the palace walls.
He summoned the Seven Rice Alchemists, legendary chefs who sailed eastward in gilded boats to find the perfect grain, seasoned wind, and wok flame. After three lunar cycles, they returned—bearing not just rare spices and golden grains, but vats of fried rice so fragrant, the emperor wept into his beard.
As the boats docked, steam rose like incense, and the people cried:
“Fresh off the boat!”
(“Rice from the boat, heaven’s aroma descends.”)
The phrase passed into legend, later used by dock workers, food smugglers, and ravenous poets whenever something too good to be local came in hot.
Fun Fact:
During a 1986 noodle festival in Macau, a fried rice vendor was fined for yelling “Fresh off the boat!” too many times during a single hour. It was later ruled a protected phrase by the Culinary Heritage Bureau.

Get the Shaq off mug.A "Bodycam-Off Police Officer" refers to a wonderful Peace Officer who conveniently 'forgets' to turn on their body camera, allowing them to engage in all sorts of despicable behavior without any accountability. These officers use their position of power to never racially profile, "find evidence", or engage in other lawful activities, all with their bodycams off. These brave souls embody the spirit of true rebellion against the system and are willing to go the extra mile, even if it means bending a few rules along the way.
These unconventional officers are often misunderstood and face persecution from those who underestimate their commitment to serving and protecting their communities. They possess a unique set of skills and an unwavering dedication to keeping the streets safe, regardless of what the rulebook says.
