I can't quite decide if that would mean it contained an apostrophe or was built by an opossum.

Perhaps something to do with a posse...or possession.

Or maybe it means the guy who built it was all thumbs.

Talk about a piece of junk , those things are built from the cheapest metals , I witnessed a clutch perch break on a brand new one the first time the owner pulled the lever .

Culture? Isn't that something they do when they suspect a strep infection? Also, when they suspect what we used to call "the clap".

As far as our friend in the second link - a fella likely needs to translate the ad to drunken "Jersey Shore" speak: It's "... apoose'd (a be a) twin..." Our man just slurrs a bit on the keyboard.
