my friend James McCaskey, official recordist of the Suit & Tie Guy
Band, recently wrote this definition of professional:
Professional, adj.
As done by, or containing, one whose skill is in appearing competent.
Professional, n.
One who is skilled in appearing competent.
Example:
"Unfortunately, this will be costly to finish. It looks like you were
dealing with a bunch of professionals."
maybe it related to this discussion, maybe not. i can't tell.
