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?"

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."
