working man's phd

phd is short for post hole diggers. A tool used to dig a small round hole straight down into earth. The hole would then be used to place a fence pole or a sign post. Since a working man will never likely have a real PhD, This tool is a working man's phd. Borrowed from a song by country artist Aaron Tippon "working man's phd" where he sings about having pride for working hard for a living.

Don't forget to bring the phd today we need to set up two signs. I have my working man's phd in the back of the truck if we need it.

I only work here

This is a phrase used to express resignation to a situation that one has no control over, where the person making the statement acknowledges that there is an issue that needs to be addressed but implies that the issue is beyond his control, power or pay grade.

co-worker : Don't you think we need to inform our clients that their bank may be going under -receivership?
co-worker2: I don't know man, I only work here...

work hard and play hard

Buzzword (technically phrase) frequently used to describe the 'culture' of a company, particularly startups or larger corps trying to project a cool image. In serious usage it's intended to imply that while there's a lot to do it's never thankless and that employees enjoy the experience overall; in practice, it generally means you're going to be working a lot of late nights without overtime for fear you won't be seen as a 'team player'; if you're lucky, this is recompensed by an open bar at the company holiday party.

You're probably not lucky, if you've taken a job where this was supposed to be one of the selling points.

"This is a really vibrant, growing organization. People love it here. We work hard and play hard." -- an interviewer you should not trust with your life or your livelihood. Run.

.exe has stopped working

Often used after a name when someone says/does something SUPER embarrassing or just SO STUPID you can't comprehend it.

Also used on funny pictures of people or animals looking super confused or doing something they normally wouldn't do, like they glitched.

good enough for government work

Probably not the best, but what the hell, at least we got the job done to minimally acceptable standards.

Max: "Hey, you done trimming those shrubs?"

Minnie: "I don't know, they look a little uneven yet..."

Max: "Nah, that's good enough for government work, let's go get a beer!"
