It Just Works

"It Just Works" is a phrase used to describe something that's inner workings don't make sense.

For example, the antagonist's stand of JoJo's Bizzare Adventure: Golden Wind, King Crimson has the ability to erase time. What does that mean? No clue, cause it just works.

King Crimson: I erased time, and leapt past it!
You: Wait, how does that work? What?
King Crimson: It just works.

work friend

Someone you connect with at work (ie send same-time messages all day, take bathroom breaks together and share your lunch). The way in which you interact at work leads people to believe you are best friends when in reality you would never been seen outside work with them.

Steve: So are you inviting Tonya to the Pub Crawl?
Jessica: No bro, she's a total work friend.

work of shame

Having to show up for work in yesterday's clothes or the outfit you wore to the bar the night before, because you hooked up or had a booty call and overslept.

Dan: Hey Ted, switch ties with me and maybe no one will notice I'm doing the work of shame today.
Ted: Sure, but you reek like the bar and sex, so I doubt it'll help.

Co-worker: Nice mini-dress Stephanie! Doing the work of shame today?
