When one gets a promotion from "Brown Nosing", they are typically branded with the title of "Ball Sniffer" as the next step in their ass kissing career.
Watch how he acts when the boss is around, he is such a ballsniffer!
Ball sniffer is 90% of the lobstermen in Casco bay,harpswell Maine. They all follow around one boat setting there traps all around him every where he goes. They're also known as bay maggots.
Jeez brian we just set these traps 3 days ago with no one here but us now we have all these ball sniffers around us.
Someone who responds to an ad for something (usually a car) on a website (usually on Craigslist), and takes up your time checking it out, claims that they will buy it, only to disappear.
Nick: Did you sell that car yet?
Brian: No, that guy that came by was a total ball sniffer...he never called back...which sucks because I told another guy it was sold already.
Nick: What a total handjob! Let's kick his ass if we ever see him again!
