Amazonitis

An Amazon shopper's discombobulation when they try to shop for an ITEM to purchase at Amazon.com and discover that they are expected to put an item in their CART BEFORE they are ready to purchase it and BEFORE they know for sure what it's PRICE is, but that it's not a problem BECAUSE they can remove it LATER only to find that: NO they don't want it and now have to go and REMOVE it first. It's like as if ELON MUSK was putting TWITTER in his CART and then having to remove it when he comes to his SENSES and starts to have that nauseous feeling about the purchase.
My friend suffered acute Amazonitis when he realized that he had purchased 24 bras for his girlfriend, when he failed to remove the previous 18 bras from his cart while a telemarketer interrupted his purchase order.

Volvo Amazon

A compoundly rounded, stylish somewhat Seussian Swedemobile. The "style" name for the Volvo 122 series, a mid-century car built when Sweden's roads were mostly unpaved. Tough, yet economical. Many daily drivers all over the globe. Other Volvo-lingo crossover, the Amazon can be a "Redblock", but is too round to be a "Brick." It was the first car to come with 3-point seatbelts. Many surviving examples on the US west Coast, especially Portland and Seattle. Driven in the US by folksingers, professors, artistic odd birds and off-gridders who also brew beer and ferment things. Driven in Europe and the rest of the world like a tough long-lasting car of economical size and disposition.
Check out that sick Volvo Amazon! It must be at least sixty years old.

amazon special

Similar to the Ebay special in that the item is of cheap quality and most likely reverse engineered and reproduced by inferior manufacturers with lower quality materials and procedures.
"Dude, I found me the Amazon Special! A racing steering wheel for only $50.00!? PLACE ORDER!" *Wheel bends and flexes and next thing, you're in the ditch*. In most cases you get what you pay for. IT it looks to good to be true, it MOST LIKELY IS. Buy reputable name brand products so you don't waste time and money dealing with knockoffs and then buying the real deal after you learned your lesson.
