illegal profession

The correct term for the profession usually euphemized as the legal profession. Applies to attorneys, lawyers, solicitors, counselors, barristers, or what ever other euphemism they come up with for their profession.
The euphemism legal profession is used by members of the illegal profession to distract the public from the conflict of interest that is inherent to their profession due to the fact that most legislators either have already been, or eventually will become, attorneys.

Members of the illegal profession wouldn't need to distract us if they didn't get paid a week's wage for an hour's work.

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.

pedaphile

Yet another way to misspell pedophile for the purpose of childishly defining someone as a pedophile and slipping it past UrbanDictionary editors.

arse

What the British write when they mean to write ass. As with most words, their pronunciation is quite pretentious too.
