This pyramid scheme/Multi-Level Marketing cult is also known as Quickstar or Quixtar.
This cult reaps huge profits from making expensive motivational videoes/tapes and numerous seminars which basically try to convince you to purchase even more motivational videoes/tapes. To even make a profit from selling their ridiculously EXPENSIVE product line, you have to already have a shitload of money, preferrably in the hundred$ of thou$and$, which is why they have celebrities and sports-stars promoting their crap.

I made the terrible mistake of attending an Amway/Quickstar seminar last week. 146 minutes of my life wasted listening to a bunch of rich white people preaching religious sermons about how their products will "change your life" if you purchase their motivational crap in order to become even more interested in their cult and their pricey products.

Get the Amway mug.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.

Get the Amazayn mug.A person whose suburban "success" lifestyle is built on multi-level scams of various types. These people are typically churchgoing, drive SUVs, vote for "family values" candidates, and seem to be clueless of the fact that they produce nothing of value to society - existing primarily as large suburban human parasites.
BEWARE of being invited to a "party" (not to be confuzed with a "partay") by the Amway Yuppie. It's not a real party. Instead, you will spend the evening warding off sales pitches.

"Who was that at the door, was it the Jehovahs Witnesses?"
"Naw, it was just some Amway Yuppie inviting us to a scamfest."

Get the Amway mug.A sudden and unsuspected proposition to either purchase direct-sale products or become a multi-level network marketing salesperson. It is usually perpetrated by a casual acquaintance under the pretense of an innocent social engagement, such as a coffee or a "party".
Joe: "Hey, weren't you meeting Chet for coffee today? How did that go?"
Frank: "It was an amwaybush. Classic execution. I didn't spot it until after I ordered. I should have suspected when he didn't seem to want anything when he called."
Joe: "Better you than me. Did you fold??"
Frank: "No, but, uh, better not answer any unknown numbers over the next couple of days."
Joe: "Bugger."
