big work

The amount of work for which a scale is no longer necessary or practical. Typically, when you do 'big work,' you become familiar with putting bricks in the spare, man.

Rapper Lil' Wayne first used the phrase in his popular rap song 'Stuntin' Like My Daddy,' from which Tenne-key rapper/cocaine factory Young Buck later derived the term.

Lil Wayne: "Big work, we don't need a scale, man."

piece of work

I'm not sure what it means. My boss says it all the time.

1) He says it about attractive women.

2) He says it about a retarded guy wearing a neon yellow reflective vest and riding a tricycle on the sidewalk.

1) Wooo, look at her. She's a piece of work.

2) Look at that guy. He's a piece of work isn't he?

School Work

Although this started out as an inside joke on my part, this term is a saying for marijuana. It works on many occasions if you don't want people to find out. (obviously)

"Yo, Phil! I got some school work, wanna come help me with it?"
"That sounds cool, Fred. I wanna help you with that school work."

Workation

A workation is when you take a work trip to another city for something like a trade show. Upon arriving you register for the show, obtain badges and various pieces of trade show material. After this recreational non-work activities will be undertaken for the rest of the trip. Sunscreen may be required to mask tanning. Often these trips are taken by employees of the opposite sex who are engaged in a discrete relationship.

Employee1: Are you ready for our Workation in Las Vegas?
Employee2: Oh yes. All packed. Remember, what happens on a workation, stays on a workation!
