American Spelling

Initiated by Noah Webster in the early 19th century, American Spelling is perhaps the most successful effort ever to make the English language more phonetically written, thus decreasing its unnecessary difficulties for people trying to learn it as a foreign language.
Come on, do people in England really pronounce "centre" as "sen-tray"?

Spelling Bee-otch

1. Someone who spells their name when they don’t need to, especially if they start using words. The words chosen are usually random or far more interesting than the person.

2. Someone who has a fucked up name but just won’t spell it and expects you to know how it should be spelled.
"My name is Pam Jones....That’s P-A-M....J-O-N-E-S." Said the spelling bee-otch

“My name is Joe Smith...J as in Jammin’, O as in Octopus, E as in Enlightenment....S as in Socialism, M as in Macho, I as in Illicit, T as in Tangerine, and H as in Heavenly”
“Sir, could you stop being a spelling bee-otch for one minute here.”

“My name is Jaxq Villaxiquocal.”
“Can you spell that please, Sir.”
“No, you should know how to spell that it’s a very simple name.”
“Well, if you’re going to be a spelling bee-otch I’m afraid that I just can’t help you today, sir.”

Sell-in

The opposite of buy-in. When a person or group cannot actually commit to something unless they are given something in return, usually for much greater that its actual value, and shamelessly at a ridiculous cost. The seller invests nothing, but lies about ownership when he or she is actually bought at the expense of the organization. There is no sense of pride, only personal gain.
The labor union cannot commit to anything, but if you give them over time or comp time, they will sell-in to anything, just so they can say they have ownership without actually investing their effort or commitment.

sellined

This is a term in golf when you chunk the absolute shit out of a ball and it works out. It sounds terrible and has zero spin. The hitter usual acts as if it was well struck.
What the F? He sellined it to like 2 feet. Unreal.
