A modern day snake oil salesman. A charlatan, preacher type (usually a fundamentalist, Protestant Christian) who hawks her/his wares on television, promising miracles of a spiritual, or secular nature if the viewer would just fork over the cash. Think Peter Popoff’s “Miracle Spring Water,” or Jim Bakker’s “Buckets of Survival Food” for doomsday. These types think nothing of draining your grandma’s savings account while tooling around in a pink limo…think back to Jan and Paul Crouch of Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN).
When my boyfriend met my uncle Fred, he thought he seemed like a used car salesman, or a scamvangelist, because he wanted to sell us a timeshare.
Any conversation you have with a another person who is only capable of talking about or listening to issues that pertain to his or her life. Usually the topics consist of editing, writing, or filming movies. They always have a lot of "projects" to tell you about and know a lot of "industry" people. Usually their head is much too large for their body sort of like Ben Affleck or Minnie Driver.
I tried to call Ben and ask him if he wanted to go to the concert, but I got stuck in another Slamkanversation.
