Insult pertaining to someone with poor craftsmanship.
Originally a maker of bells and bell-ends.
During the English Reformation, when Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church, he decreed the construction of new churches and church towers, and to that end new bells and bell-ends. Because of this, there was an increased need for bell and bell-end makers. These grand and revered artisans of their day would be known as bell-enders.
Unfortunately, many pretenders strode from shire to shire claiming to be true and good makers of bells and bell-ends, which often resulted in shoddy work, and gave any true craftsmen a bad name. The name bell-ender, or bell-end, came to be synonymous with poor craftsmanship or a hoodlum - as it is to this day.

Henry the Friend: By Jove, man! Those are fearful and I have now become blind!
John the Villager: Alack, I should not have used that jaunty haberdasher.
Henry the (Blind) Friend: Alas, no! For he is soothly a bellend!

Repeatedly posting the same promotional message to many individuals on social networks. This is usually done by mentioning their Twitter username, followed by a plea to check out their project. Heavily discouraged and easily noticeable by scrolling down their previous posts.
