I've told him to read this thread, so I'd better not offer any extra-special, extra-costly services

My checkbook is all bandaged up and limping from over a year's worth of your "extra- special, extra-costly" services

Yeah, but it's more accurate to say "lame attempt" to spam! 
You know what? There should be a word for that kind of thing - useless attempts to spam or affect the search engines.
When I first started out in SEO, I often called pretty much anything distasteful "spam". Since then, I've learned a lot and have refined my thoughts on the subject.
Some things I used to think were spam now often are not (just silly), and others that I didn't even notice I now consider to be spam. My personal definition has also changed, as well.
I agree that if it has no hope of affecting your rankings, it should not be considered spam. Spam should be reserved for things that can affect your rankings, but should not.
I propose a new name for lame attempts to spam that don't work and serve mostly to show how clueless or desperate the author is.
Some ideas (mostly related to merging "lame" and "spam" or other terms):
"splam"
"meta-lame"
"pseudo-spam"
"hail-mary SEO"
"spamette"
"paraspam"
"retrospam"
"subspam"
Thoughts?

Splam gets my votre, too!
That's the sound your rankings make when they hit the floor as a result of your lame attempts at spam!

No, but there's the irony. Your rankings won't do anything.

Spam Fritters
I believe that this is a genuine 'spam recipe'
And one could say that someone using the technique is frittering away their time/effort.

There was a term we used to use as kids that mocks a medical condition, but as it's only one letter off, maybe it's worth considering... So, with apologies in advance, how about "spaz"?
