Used to describe a person who is extremely patient and resilient. It is not to be confused with "The patience of a saint," which is usually (but not always) associated with being a pushover.
The phrase comes from the character Job in the Bible, whom Satan practically used as his personal plaything. But his faith never faltered despite the numerous contrived misfortunes that plagued his life.
People who work in customer service or in educational settings must have the patience of Job if they can still function as people after so long.

A brand of gum which achieved meme status because of how unpopular it is due to the fact that its flavor fades almost instantly after you put it in your mouth.

A very strange-looking cat who became famous after it showed up at Michael Rapaport's doorstep (or his mother's; it's kind of hard to tell). The foul-mouthed Rapaport began to dramatically freak out about the cat because of its bulging eyes and prominent overbite that makes him look very deformed and scary. Rapaport then posted the video of his reaction to the Internet, including a part 2 when the cat appeared once again.
"MA! THAT FUCKING CAT IS BACK AGAIN!"
And thus, Wilfred Warrior got his name.

A one-hit-wonder band created by Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan in 1972. They only lasted about three years before breaking up, although they briefly reunited shortly before Rafferty's death.
Stealer's Wheel is best known for the song "Stuck In The Middle With You" on their self-titled debut album.
An event occurring from October 1-31 (give or take) every year where people start thinking about Spooky Season. But wait! Thanksgiving is next month! And the month after that is Christmas!
The result is all of the holidays being lumped together, resulting in "Hallow" (Halloween) "Thanks" (Thanksgiving) "Mas" (Christmas).
Nobody:
