“Newd on market!” – horrendous MLS laughs ‘n’ gaffs

Well friends, something tells me the holiday parties have begun.  The MLS and local real estate ads are showing signs of a lot of Happy Hour celebration.  Beware of tippling-n-typing over the holidays, or you may end up with egg nog on your face.

Check out these doozies:

Hey, Dude – Newds!

“Newd on market!” (I guess another starlet just hit Hollywood.)

“Be in your home for Newt Year” (But how do you get the party hats to stay on a salamander’s head?)

“Walk-out basemen” (Typical song-n-dance man…)

“Free drawling” (Why, thanks, y’all.)

“All new hiny baths” (Uh, I believe those are called “bidets.”)

What a gas!

“Your buyer won’t gass on this home!” (I’d rather he do it there than in my car.)

“Nice hosue” (Everyone loves a good Korean BBQ.)

“Celibate in your new home” (A stiff mortgage can kill any libido.)

“On hold for the remains of the month” (Grandpa, your urn is ready.)

“New widows in all rooms” (Ah…now we know where the “remains” of the month came from.)

Be Careful What You Wish For

“Great views from balony” (Of what – someone’s intestinal tract?)

“Duel baths” (Touche toushie!)

“Herdwood floors” (Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam…)

Bev Hills beauty – Sellers toss is your gain” (That’s some big bucks for upchuck.)

And the Winner is:

“Hikiday Special” (I heard that pitch all Senior Year!)

    Nice list of gaffes, Gwen. It amazes me that people still don’t spell check their marketing with all the tools that do it for you.
