PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Created after a merger of Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand, PWC is one of the "big four" (final four?) accounting firms. The final four are Ernst & Young, PWC, Deloitte, and KPMG.

From many accounts PWC is "The last form of slavery in the US. This is where many young people begin careers and work 115 hours a week until they either quit or die from exhaustion. Former PWC employees often have scarred backs from the whip marks."

In common with all other Professional Services Firms, PWC really have no place being defined in anything called "the Urban Dictionary". It'll just end in tears before bedtime I tell ya!

Yo ma wigga, PWC be trippin on dis Sarbanes Oxley shizzle. Tru dat.

1. If u want to work like a little slave bitch, work ridiculous hours (but also be forced to come into work when there's absolutely nothing to do but stare at your computer for eight hours), not get paid overtime, forfeit any and all chances to have a meaningful relationship with the opposite sex, gain crazy amounts of weight, never exercise, lose all social skills, forget how to talk to girls, climb the corporate ladder at a snail's pace, be tricked into believing you provide value, be tricked into believing your coworkers and bosses care about you, lose contact with all your friends, receive insulting raises, watch your life dwindle into a rotten corpse of its former self, look forward to going home to do nothing but stare blankly at the wall, spiral viciously into a permanent state of cynicism, see the world through a tint of gray, resent everyone, wake up each morning with the taste of bile in your throat and thoughts of masochism in your mind, and eventually, undoubtedly, inevitably hate being alive, PwC is your spot man, welcome aboard.

2. I'd rather be a carny than work for PwC.
