'profits you little' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'a vulgar answer' is the wordplay.
'a vulgar' becomes 'low'.
'answer' becomes 'return' (returning is a kind of answering).
'low'+'return'='LOW RETURN'

'that' is the link.
