A garment more utilitarian than fashionable, the Lifer Sweater is a sweater that long-term employees keep on the back of their chairs so that they can adapt to the office thermostat. This sweater, often in a neutral color, doesn't leave the office. Evern. Once an employee brings such a garment to work, it is safe to assume that the owner isn't planning on going anywhere.

Get the Lifer Sweater mug.Short for an abandoned house. Chances are, if you know someone who says they are living in an abando, they are a drug addict who has burned bridges with family and friends, and cannot go to a shelter as that would mean at least temporarily abandoning their drugs.
"He said he's living in an abando since he lost his job and smoked all his money." "So wait - he couldn't just live in that boat he stole?" "Nah - he sold it for drugs."
