Selling like beer

Upon using the phrase "selling like hotcakes" to describe an item that sells really fast, I realized that I dont know what a hotcake is, nor have I ever sold or bought one. So I decided that beer is the fastest selling item I could think of. So I am officially changing the old phrase "selling like hotcakes" to "selling like beer"
"My ebay items are selling like beer."

spelling nazi

people that care more about the spelling of words and correcting them then what the words mean.
even if everyone reading if can understand it just fine!

they love the feeling of superiority that comes from correcting other people.

an older name for the spelling nazi and one we still use to this day but to a lesser extent is : SMUG.

some chronic conditions have been recorded when the subjects tried to fix 1337...
johnny: OMG my teacher just ripped a students ears of, she gona get arrested!!!

spelling nazi: by "of" i`m guessing you meant off and by "gona" i think you meant: probably going to.

over selling

in basketball, when you get touched by a player from the other team and then fall down and act like you've been shot even when it is a very light touch.
Johnny was over selling today during the basketball game. I barely touched him and he flipped backwards five times and acted like i had broken his neck.

spelling like a paki

Write very badly every conceivable message, including wannabe-professional e-mails sent to customers. Usually following lousy grammar rules, making use of all the acronyms a 13-yrs. old girl may have learned on ICQ, and the abbreviations needed when SMS-ing friends.

One wonders if spell checkers are banned in Pakistan and India. But again, it might be a clever plan to fool spam filters.

However, it is not only a matter of grammar, also of form: normally all missives start with three or four sentences enquiring about the good health of the recipient, have about one central sentence which conveys the message (or not), and end with another four-five sentences of salutation (again). These latter lines mostly appeal to some deity the recipient is supposed to believe in.

Corollary: the same e-mail may be written in less than five words, saving you and them more time.
From personal records, slightly shortened:

"Dear Mr. Xyzzy Wyzzy,

Me: "Oh no, another one spelling like a Paki. Trash the email without reading it."
