daffynition

A comical, or at least absurd, definition. Such a definition makes sense from some facetious or offensive point of view.
Calling the Rolling Stones a landslide would be a daffynition.

Many of the UrbanDictionary defintions about alternative lifestyles, politics, and religion are daffynitions.

Daffynitions are the basis for many common euphemisms.

pyramid scheme

A fraudulent business model, illegal in most places, in which participants are paid to recruit more participants, rather than commissions on sales.

Frequently passed off as Multi-Level Marketing by incorporating sales of an unmarketable product or service into the scheme. In such cases, participants are usually required to maintain a monthly purchase quota to qualify for payments.
Pyramid schemes market to prospective participants while Multi-Level Marketing plans market to prospective consumers. Pyramid schemes fail because scam participants are not a viable market. Most of the participants pay more money to participate than they receive for participating because there aren't enough suckers left to recruit.

Once the suckers figure that out and quit paying into the scheme, those who recruited them start losing money too, and then they quit. The scam shrivels even faster than it grew.

911

1. A number you dial when there is an emergency, or if you are a duh-weeb, when you want to ask a question or report something that happened last week.

2. A Porche.

3. A frequent misspelling of 9/11, which stands for September 11, 2001.
If someone just now stole your 911 (2), by all means call 911 (1), but if it went missing during 9/11, (correct spelling of 3), go stand in line like everybody else.

Make Love Not Spam

The anti-spam screensaver from Lycos UK. It's illegal to operate in many places, because it commits DDoS attacks. Any reputable ISP would cancel your Internet account for using it, as well.
The Make Love Not Spam screensaver uses your computer's idle time to commit Distributed Denial of Service attacks against spammers' servers, so the spammers are retaliating with DDoS attacks against the server that offers the screensaver download.
