over selling

in basketball, when you get touched by a player from the other team and then fall down and act like you've been shot even when it is a very light touch.

Johnny was over selling today during the basketball game. I barely touched him and he flipped backwards five times and acted like i had broken his neck.

overspelling

The act of intentionally misspelling a word using far too many letters. The misspelled word is usually unpronounceable. Overspelling is often used to exaggerate words that are already hard to spell. It is also used to let the reader know that the writer is admitting they do not know the correct spelling, an informal substitution of the (sp) notation.

"I think that sports car was a Koeniggseggnssenggen," where 'Koeniggseggnssenggen' is considered overspelling, as opposed to, "I think that sports car was a Koeniggsegg(sp?)"

"I could seriously use some caffeininne, I am so tired right now."
