Translations

‘I’ve got a great investment for you.’
Translation - I’ll get my money from you, but the odds of you actually making money off of this are about the same as a tornado dropping in the middle of an active volcano and sucking all the ash back inside, like a giant vacuum cleaner.
Examples - comic books, baseball cards, stocks, antiques

‘This is a great deal!’
Translation - hold on to your wallet, purse, checkbook, credit card, etc. and don’t even think of purchasing.
Examples - anything with the words ‘time’ and ‘share’ in it.

‘You won’t be sorry.’
Translation - oh yes you will.

‘You’ve got real talent’
Translation - not enough talent to quit your day job and make a living of it, unless you already own your own company.
Examples - songwriting, playing guitar, writing, photography, pretty much everything I was hoping to get rich from. (dang!)
