I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

I'm trying to think of a single word that describes a post or job given to someone, usually a person of privilege, in order to keep them out of the way, out of trouble or out of sight.

I've asked several people at work and they're all sure the word exists but none of us can remember it.

You may have been thinking of "sinecure". Also try the small questions megathread.

Sinecure was it. Also didn't know about that thread. Cool.
