The point within a dialogue or conversation where someone begins to gradually shift (or suddenly shift) focus of the conversation from the original false pretense to the true intention of espousing their recent foray into the
world of multi-level marketing thus beginning with immense zeal, their well-rehearsed recruitment speech. This
moment is intensified by the nature of the other party initiating the conversation shift. This party is usually one of the following:
1) An acquaintance you have just
met and were beginning to possibly explore
later friendship.
2) One with whom you
may possibly be interested in from a romantic point of view and they seem to be reciprocating.
3) An old friend, colleague, spouse, or significant other with whom you have recently reconnected with via the
Internet or in person.
A similar form of usage would be: "to go Amway on you" or "He ruined a good chance of getting her in the
sack when he prematurely went Amway on her."
1.) Prior to the Amway
moment, the conversation was going well. For a second there, I actually thought I had made a new friend.
2.) Once that Amway
moment happens with a friend, the friendship is irrevocably
broken to a certain extent.
