What is the sarcastic English word to describe a highly paid job but with no responsibilities?
"Sinecure" is the most common term. From Merriam-Webster:
1: an office or position that requires little or no work and that usually provides an income
2 archaic : an ecclesiastical benefice without cure of souls
I like that second meaning because it explains the word's etymology, from the Latin sine cura, or without cure. A church duty that does not help souls, a job that produces no work. It makes sense.
