gray market

Commonly refers to items being sold outside of the territory their manufacturer intended. Gray market products often come with different manuals or accessories from the domestic version, and frequently do not carry a manufacturer's warranty.

Q: Why is that online camera store so cheap?

Pirate Marketing

A term describing the so-called "marketing strategy" of spammers who "advertise" or plug) their products and services by using people’s email addresses to send out bulk mail messages to all the contacts they've hijacked, pretending the email was written by the person who's identity they have hacked into.

This is done to suggest a person has tried and tested the product and to spread bogus word of mouth virally. This is entirely fraudulent and can potentially hurt a person’s reputation, but thankfully this method is used by individuals and groups who are just as stupid as the people they are trying to scam (i.e. catering to the lowest denominator). For this reason, the spam message itself is usually as easy to detect, as the cheap knockoffs (or stolen goods) they are trying to unload on unsuspecting victims.

According to Wikipedia, spam averages 78% of all e-mail sent.

Here is a prime example of pirate marketing allegedly sent from a friend:

marker bee

n. (pl. -ees) (derogatory) a higher-level university student employed by a professor to mark papers. Also known as a teacher's aide, or T.A. (Derived from WORKER BEE)

Professor Bombshell's over-zealous marker bees couldn't actually find anything wrong with my paper so they made shit up. I asked Bombshell to look it over himself and he agreed I should get a higher grade on it.
