Get the stella mug.spellaprop /spel-a-prop/ n. - A computer spellchecker induced malapropism where, like the act of confusing words that are similar in sound, words that are similar in appearance are inadvertently substituted for one another.
Beware - This is a very insidious quirk in computer software spellcheckers that causes a malapropism to be accidentally introduced into one's writing. Occasionally, a spellchecker will suggest a replacement word that, when glanced at quickly, looks the the misspelled word, but is actually a completely different word.
If you are rushed, you will probably accept that recommended change. Thus, inserting the "spellaprop" into your document. The spellchecker will, of course, ignore this new error on subsequent passes because, though contextually inappropriate, the replacement word is spelled correctly. So, if you do not catch this error when proofreading your document, you will appear stupid, ignorant, or at best careless, to your readers.
Examples:
A misspelling of the word "edition" causes the spellchecker to suggest the replacement word "addition".
A misspelling of the word "partition" causes the spellchecker to suggest the replacement word "portion".
A misspelling of the word "revelation" causes the spellchecker to suggest the replacement word "revolution".

Tho it may look like uncle Bulgaria, the Stella Bin Weasel is the opposite to a womble, it's a giver of rubbish not a taker.
Bearing in mind the weasels bin only gets collected fortnightly, after 2 days of copious Stella intake, the bin weasel finds himself in his usual predicament.
The bin weasels never heard of a bottle bank so instead he does his daily good deed of travelling around his neighbours gardens helpfully filling their bins up with his empty Stella bottles off the day before.
Contrary to popular belief the Stella Bin Weasel is not a malicious or greedy creature.
Rumours of people sighting the Stella Bin Weasel very thirsty and drinking bin juice are misfound and unproven of yet.
The creature is very proud of himself and leads a balanced lifestyle.
In order to support its growing appetite for more Stella artois, the bin weasel will quite happily give up luxuries such as pastries, sausage rolls, cakes and custard creams.
