I can't work under these conditions

Sarcastic phrase used to evoke the image of a high-strung actor or other professional who refuses to continue to work because of some trivial issue. Although the phrase sounds like a serious complaint, its familiarity as a meme or catch-phrase can actually be used to diffuse or lessen the impact of a minor issue that a group of people are unhappy about. Frequently used among theater types or other performers both in and out of the theatrical context.

Person 1: "Hey, we've got coffee, but only French Roast. We're out of Hazelnut."

Person 2, responding, perhaps throwing up their hands: "I can't work under these conditions!"

All: Laughter.

Work Mouth

A form of self-censorship practiced at work to avoid offensive or cuss words. Typically includes cuss-replacements you learned from your grandma. Potentially embarrassing if accidentally used outside of work at parties or in the company of your drunk friends.

May also be used in the company of grandparents, teachers, preachers, and others who disapprove of cussing.

Does not apply to all professions. Musicians and construction workers have no need for a work mouth.

At work:
-Did you just say fuck?
-Yeah, sorry. I forgot to use my work mouth.

At a party:
-Did you just say fiddlesticks?
-Yeah, sorry. I still have my work mouth on.

Council Workers

Usually a person who is employed by a local council in the western suburbs who is your stereotypical bogan but ethnics also are employed, They are sent to do repairs around the city but do nothing than eat or sleep whilst on the job. They are usually sent in packs of up to 15 men to get a job done but only 2 out the 15 men do the job while the rest slack off.

'10 council workers sent to fix a small pothole in the road whilst only 2 of the workers do the duty whilst the rest go down to the local pub.'
