illegal money-making arrangement where great wealth is promised, usually in a relatively short period of time.
very few people, if anyone, end up making any money, and in fact end up GIVING money in their vain hope of striking it rich.
there are many organizations which are, in reality,legalized versions of the pyramid scheme - Amway is probably the most well known and has been around the longest.

Also known as scheming szn, and can also be referred to as Fielding season. Scheming season starts around late May- June, soon after cuffing season is over. Scheming season is basically when large amounts of couples break up, likely so they can scheme a.k.a get with other people over the summer months. Everyone wants to be in a secure relationship during the cold months and have someone for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, etc... but as soon as the summer season hits, it’s scheming szn and everyone wants to party and hook up with people.
“Dude did you hear that Matt broke up with Emily?”
“Yeah dude, I saw it coming; it’s scheming szn”

Cuffing Season is the time of year when people couple off to combat the cold and loneliness. When parsed down, it is simply a social construct, partly manufactured from holiday stress and partly biological, that pushes single people into relationships for the winter months. Scheming season is quite literally the opposite of cuffing season, that winter impulse to snuggle up with someone indoors.

Scheming season is the time from late May to early September during which people like to keep it cool and play to field.

An unusually large Ponzi scheme, such as the $50 billion scheme Bernie Madoff operated.
Madoff's Ponzi scheme was so large, we can't even call it a Ponzi scheme. We call that a Madoff scheme.

A more politically correct name for Multi-Level Marketing, than 'pyramid scheme'. Ziggurats have multiple levels, whereas pyramids have none.
Amway isn't a pyramid scheme; it's a ziggurat scheme!

The act of making false complaints to fast food eateries, then demanding free food, then calling another eatery of the same company name (mcdonalds for example across town, then telling them they fucked your order up, then demand a refund in exchange for the returned food, and finally bringing your free food in to sell it back to them. (usually a last resort for drug or alcohol money)
