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.
