Lifer Sweater

A garment more utilitarian than fashionable, the Lifer Sweater is a sweater that long-term employees keep on the back of their chairs so that they can adapt to the office thermostat. This sweater, often in a neutral color, doesn't leave the office. Evern. Once an employee brings such a garment to work, it is safe to assume that the owner isn't planning on going anywhere.

"I hear Joe is looking for another job."

"Joe? No way--he's got a Lifer Sweater!"

abando

Short for an abandoned house. Chances are, if you know someone who says they are living in an abando, they are a drug addict who has burned bridges with family and friends, and cannot go to a shelter as that would mean at least temporarily abandoning their drugs.

"He said he's living in an abando since he lost his job and smoked all his money." "So wait - he couldn't just live in that boat he stole?" "Nah - he sold it for drugs."
