Sorry nead a moan, what is it with the younger generation calling mugs cups?

I keep hearing and seeing mugs described as cups, as far as im aware cups are usualy little and with saucers.

I've discovered that lots of people in Yorkshire call my mugs beakers. Now what's that all about?!

yes but do you say to someone "would you like a cup of tea/coffe?" or "would you like a mug of tea/coffee?" I always ask people "would you like a cup of tea/coffe?" but serve it in a mug as cups don't exist in my house!!!!
