Oscar Tango

Slang for overtime hours at work, particularly in the construction industry. Based on the NATO phonetic alphabet AKA military alphabet where OT = Oscar Tango

I've been working 80 hours a week recently. It sucks, but it's worth it for the Oscar Tango

Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
