bagvertising

A logo, graphic or both that is printed on a retail bag given after a sales transaction, meant to advertise the retail store to others. Usually very creative, with the hopes that it will get noticed and shared.
I saw the coolest bagvertising at the mall last weekend. This dude was holding a bag from the magjc store and the handle was high strength fishing line. It looked like the bag was floating and following the customer.

bumvertising

A process whereby cheap advertisers pay bums to hold up signs advertising for them. So far only cheap web advertisers have used this tactic.

Some believe this practice exploits the homeless but it really gives them more money to buy booze and drugs.
"I saw some crappy website using bumvertising but I don't remember the website."

Bumvertising

When a merchant hires a person to stand at a street corner for several hours holding a sign advertising the merchant's place of business and its wares.

A common advertising tactic in Northern Virginia. However, instead of bums, college and high-school aged suburban kids are usually employed due to the lack of actual homeless in this extremely wealthy area.
Driver: - "Hey! Look at that sign the kid is waving." "Mastercraft Interiors is going out of business!!!"

Wife: - "No they're not, Mastercraft has a huge bumvertising campaign every summer to lure you in"

Our Congressman lost the election because he tortured everyone in his district for months with Badvertising. He could have easily won if he had attacked his opponent's ideas instead of slinging mud. That stinking piece of shit blamed another stinking piece of shit for stinking.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
