Multi-Level Marketing

Commonly abbreviated MLM, it's a form of selling a product whereby one person recruits other salespeople, who recruits other salespeople, ad nausea and after each sale, everybody above the salesman gets a small piece of commission. To make money in one (98%+ of people don't), one should place much more emphasis on recruiting than sales. Amway is probably the most well-known MLM.

Many MLMs have "optional" national meetings, motivational books and tapes, and other various expenses. The cost of these comes out of pocket of the individual. As a general rule, if you can be one of the first people to join a successful MLM, you'll make a lot of money, especially if you can sell all of this crap to your downline. However, if you're not in this lucky 1-2%, you'll honestly be lucky to break even in your expenses.

There is some technical difference between a pyramid scheme, which is illegal, and an MLM, which is legal. However, nobody but the high-priced lawyers which keep MLMs in business and stealing the money of its starry-eyed employees seem to know what this difference is.

There are too many Multi-Level Marketing organizations to count. After one is shut down by bankruptcy or the government, two new ones sprout from the ground.

Teen 1: My mom got her 'mom' jeans out thinking she could fit in with us.

Teen 2: That is some serious stuck-on-the-ceiling parenting.

Doris Day Parking

Any parking spot that seems as though it was meant to be, as evidenced by the spot's convenience to one's destination as well as the smoothness with which one can park their car in said spot.

Derived from the sort of parking found by Doris Day in any Doris Day movie.

Because of the sweet Doris Day parking I got in Westwood, I wasn't late for the movie.

Parking-lot Illiteracy

The inability of drivers to understand how a parking lot works. These individuals pull down wrong lanes, drive through lanes and parking spaces

Pulling into the WalMart parking-lot some moron nearly ran into me because he was driving the wrong way. Yep. This guy definitely suffers from parking-lot illiteracy.
