cleric

1. In religion, a generic term for a religious leader; does not imply a specific religion or rank.

2. In business, a clerk; one who handles documents and filing systems.

3. In Roll Playing Gaming, aka RPG, a magic-practicing priest; generally a healer, but this may vary according to alignment.

People employ clerics to practice their religion for them so they won't have to practice their religion themselves.

Windows Downdate

The most prolific source of computer trojans online, frequently euphemized as Windows Update.

Windows Downdate frequently prompts the user to "update" Windows/MSN Messenger to version 4.7 even though version 6 or 7 is already installed.

After installing SP2, Windows Downdate wanted me to update a bunch of things that I updated before SP2, so I don't know if SP2 downdated them, or if Windows Downdate wanted to downdate them after SP2 updated them.

pyramid scheme

A fraudulent business model, illegal in most places, in which participants are paid to recruit more participants, rather than commissions on sales.

Frequently passed off as Multi-Level Marketing by incorporating sales of an unmarketable product or service into the scheme. In such cases, participants are usually required to maintain a monthly purchase quota to qualify for payments.

Pyramid schemes market to prospective participants while Multi-Level Marketing plans market to prospective consumers. Pyramid schemes fail because scam participants are not a viable market. Most of the participants pay more money to participate than they receive for participating because there aren't enough suckers left to recruit.

Once the suckers figure that out and quit paying into the scheme, those who recruited them start losing money too, and then they quit. The scam shrivels even faster than it grew.

pedaphile

Yet another way to misspell pedophile for the purpose of childishly defining someone as a pedophile and slipping it past UrbanDictionary editors.

Generally, people who write pedaphile really mean pedosexual.

arse

What the British write when they mean to write ass. As with most words, their pronunciation is quite pretentious too.

There's nothing wrong with the way the British spell America. It's arse that they spell incorrectly.

Come on Dover!
