When a boss, romantic other, friend or family member does something for you, and you have no other way of paying them back, to simply be charming and fair in other ways to pay your dues for having underappreciated them.
Kat: Jeanne, you took me back as your friend again, but I don't know, I don't know if it's healthy.
Jeanne: Look, I know you're still working off your guilt, but good things happen to people like you!
When your working on the jobsite, and your boss says “hire handicaps and watch them work” probably means your being a professional dumbass, and can’t do a simple task properly.
Hey jerry, can you help me cut down this tree? “Sure, I’ll grab the clippers!” (Boss) “hire handicaps and watch them work.”
NOT "fine linen", but a cloth destined for hardy cleaning! "snot rag", paper towel, dust cloth, etc. -during its' life span it may have at least one use!
i'm going to downgrade this snot rag into a slop mop, acknowledging its' lineage as a working rag.
wheres' my working rag? i've got slops to mop!!
A Tennessee slang used for saying an object is not working.
Damn, my dirt bike aint no work
"An insane asylum disguised as an aircraft factory"
-Lazerpig
Not wanting to task all their proven engineers to pursue an experimental jet fighter project during the manufacturing boom of WW2, Lockheed basically went on the prowl to find aircraft engineers of questionable sanity, stick them in a circus tent, painted a cartoon logo, told them to crack on with it, and called the outfit Skunk Works.
When true-believer employees stand around talking ecstatically to each other about how great the company is because of the "amazing work" they did; this typically creates a toxic smugness that pollutes the rest of the workplace.
Guy 1: Those dudes are being so loud - I can't even focus on my work.
Guy 2: Right? I can't believe they're still circle working over that sale they landed last month. It wasn't even that big of a deal.
Typically instead of a standard burnout at a set of lights or a stop sign, or perhaps at an intersection in front of a small group of people, “circle work” is kept for such occasions when a large group of people is available to view the display. The vehicle owner doesn’t just do a burnout. They try to burn that clutch and tyre tread down as much as possible whilst slowly spinning the car in circles so they can still a) view the audience, and b) not choke to death on the clouds of rubber smoke being churned up from the tyres.
They have degenerated into muddy, rum-soaked, all-night drinking sessions, complete with circle work by hungover ute drivers the following morning.
