Amway Moment

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.

Cast Away Moment

When you've finally done something that should be so simple to do, but takes you so long to achieve.

(Inspired by the moment Tom Hanks finally made fire after so long trying in the film cast away)
I tried threading a needle but it took me an hour to do this. When I finally threaded the needle, I shouted with joy. That was my cast away moment.

Fly-Away Moment

When you really want to have a lezbian/gay moment with a really hawttt person of the same gender, but you afraid what people might think of you, so you want to Fly-Away to another country to bang a really hawt person you don't know. Most of the time it won't come back to get you.
Girl1: I'm so tired of guys & their crap.

Girl2: Same, but I need some lovin', but I'm mad at my bf.

Girl1: Banging a girl would be so fun, but I don't want people thinking I'm a lez.

Girl2: I this I could have a Fly-Away Moment!

even thought the moment passed me by i still can't turn away

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Got lost or thrown away

And now we're grown up orphans
And never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name

And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are

We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell em' your name
Oooh, oooh, oooh
I won't tell em' your name
Ow!

I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name
