A saying that people named Chandler use to describe how hard they work when they really don't.
Co-worker: Chandler you have been on break for the last 45 mins stop slacking. Chandler: I work hard for the money goddammit.

Attitude (often motto) present in many elitist or successful groups of people especially at wealthy, elite private schools, expensive highly-ranked universities, and among yuppies. Basically means that one works hard at school or their job while they also party on the weekends (or weekdays as well, depending on how far they take it).

Stupid because it basically provides an excuse for mindless partying directing one's life without any space for taking anything seriously in the world.

Sometimes leads to side effects like alcoholism. Usually outgrown as one gets older.

Old high school friend: Wow you weren't like this in high school. As I recall you were really studious and nerdy...

similar to are we having fun yet?, a ridiculous and stupid phrase coined by would-be witty people who cannot be funny so they toss around catch phrases they hear.

singlehandedly, the stupidest phrase i have ever heard. it is not funny when used to a student and it is not funny when used to a coworker. you are not witty, you are a dumbass.

first off, there is no way that you can in any way compare working hard to hardly working. how can you confuse the two? you can't.

second off, if you have in some way found a way to a management position and use this phrase, someone in your office is going to send you a big bag of poop.

thirdly, it is not a pick up line. a pick up line is, "hey baby, do you have any black in you? you want some?" this does not compare.

A lame pickup line used in the office or at work in an attempt to hook up with or hit on a coworker. Mainly used by males trying to hit on female coworkers. Sometimes used to break the ice.
Boy: Hey baby, working hard or hardly working?
Girl: Go away thank you. I've heard that one twice before at this job and several times at my other jobs.

A person who’s incredibly dedicated to their career and often has more then one job yet never turns down a good time. Their schedule is so crammed with work and social events that they have to pull out a 20lb planner to pencil you in.
Work hard play hard. Alishia. On top of her game, educated, has a full-time career, dedicated mother, plans every detail of her life. She’s so busy that when you text her she will forget to text you back but will call you in a rush on speaker phone on her way to next event or as she’s working on something. (There will always be another person she’s speaking to at the same time) However, when it’s time to go out she will pregame in the car with fireball shots, drop it like it’s hot when her song comes on, and she’s a social butterfly loved by everyone she meets.
