Road Work

Closing a road or a lane of traffic for no apparent reason (for 10 years).

I was going down the high way and there is road work slowing down traffic.

IT JUST WORKS

Like DaVinci's "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication", when software does very complex things with very simple and intuitive human interaction in a reliable way. I first heard "It Just Works" used regularly within Apple by Peter Hoddie and Ian Ritchie of the QuickTime team in January 1993. Later, Steve Jobs and others started using it, probably because Peter and his team had presented QuickTime and used that phrase.

When you want to show a video, you double-click and it just works.

Work Fishing

The act of going on an expensive fishing expedition under the guise of entertaining clients, and charging it to the company. Work fishing must be accompanied with hand gesture quotation marks. " "
Work fishing can be interchangeable with “work golfing” “work Texans season ticketing” “work rodeo suiting” and “work strip clubbing”.

Dude, my freezer is full of tuna I caught while I was “work fishing” with clients. Wait till the company gets the receipt for that!

work the turk

A light hearted way to say masturbation - Can be used to infer someone is masturbating when they leave for an unexplained absence.

I didn't pickup at the bar so I had to work the turk instead. Person 1: Where did he go?
Person 2: Probably working the turk.

work fog

That not-all-there dreamlike state you're in while at work. Typically diminishes as soon as you leave work. It tends to diminish slower on Mondays and fastest on Fridays. Common symptoms include endlessly staring into space and answering any and all questions with a simple huh what did you say.

Hey man {peers over cubical wall} you don't seem like you're all here today. Oh he's just in work fog.

Work shirt

Any clothing that is dirty and you wear when working with anything that has grease. It is also any shirt that you have to wash many times to get it wearable.

Parent: "Are you washing your work shirt again?"

Kid: "Yes why?"
Parent: "Because the water and electricity bill shot up $500!"
Kid starts running.
