Any product claiming to extend or expand the penis, produce longer lasting or firmer erections, or increase ejaculate volume that is not produced by a reputable pharmaceutical company (and thus of dubious safety and efficacy). The subject of much of the spam you receive and (sensibly) discard.
Hey, check out this spam. The writers claim to be able to cure any illness, but that seems like a stretch when they haven't mastered spelling. Must be hawking trouser snake oil.

1. A con man
2. A male trying to talk a woman into having intercourse with him. The reference comes from a penis somewhat resembling a snake and from oil being an analog for semen.
The snake oil salesman did not present a very convincing case as he still lived with his parents and the lie he told me when he said, "Oh, they're actually staying with me, so I can take care of them." was transparent as both of them were able bodied and still employed.

Any set of beliefs, particularly extreme Abrahamic faiths (Extreme Christianity, Islam etc), that people buy into as a way of not dealing with their own mortality.

Humans are cognitively vulnerable to believe in such systems, and many so called "religions" take advantage of this. Meaning people end up sacrificing and wasting some or all of their own short time on this earth for a fictional assurance fram an ethereal being they will never meet.

Similarly, "snake oil salesman" is a common expression used to describe someone who sells, promotes, or is a general proponent of some valueless or fraudulent cure, remedy, or solution.1 The term comes from the "snake oil" that used to be sold as a cure-all elixir for many kinds of physiological problems. - Wiki

(n) a combination of the popular term "snake oil salesman" and Obama.

Refers to a morally-bankrupt and unethical politician who has one agenda, yet publicly pretends to have a polar-opposite agenda just so that he can get re-elected to office, at which time he will implement his true policy which will destroy the lives of those who blindly supported him and lead to the complete destruction of the district; State; or Country in which he resides.
Can you believe all of the lies that he just threw out during his campaign speech? Unless you knew he was full of bullshit, you'd think that he was a great guy with all of those pie-in-the-sky statements. It'd be like Hitler saying that he loved Jews and wanted them to prosper.

"And the worst part is, all those idiots in the audience that just kept on clapping at everything he said. I can't believe what a Snake Oil-Bama Salesman he really is!. Anyone with a brain knows that he hates white people and want's to destroy the United States. He's leading his own people and the welfare whores straight to the ovens."
