city job

A government job that offers great benefits,pay and/or pensions. Benefits include but are not limited to: health, dental, sick leave, steady hours, holiday pay and a pension package among others. It's is usually a well compensated position compared to working for a private company.

The term "city job" is usually used by the lower class/working poor. (Generalizing)They prefer the stability of working for the government than working under a boss in the private sector. (Unverified) Some states in America are "at will" which means the private company can fire you anytime for any reason, this is not so when working for the government. There needs to be a really big reason to fire you. Which makes someone less susceptible to the whims of a boss.

City job in Pop culture:

In the song Proud Mary(Tina Turner) the lyrics include : "left a good job in the city, working for the man every night and day."

city job Common phrase:That girl got hired at the city! She's going to retire with a good pension.

city prep

An urban prep is prep, such as myself, who has moved to a large city like San Fransisco, LA, New York City, Chicago or any other large city. We are the the more casual and far less uptight siblings ti our brothers in the east. We come from a preppy family, and they have their roots in the East coast, but they have lived in large cities for many years, often their whole life. We often live the same as other preps, but far more modern. We do dress in Lactose, Brooks Brothers, J Crew, and Ralph Lauren Blue, often known as Polo, but we more often dresses in Ralph Lauren Black, Blues sleeker, more modern cousin. Typical outfits for modern preps are
- polos, chino shorts and loafers in the summer.
- Patterned dress shirt, (tucked in, of course) skinny jeans, high top sneakers and a leather jacket in the fall.
- Skinny jeans, v neck sweater, northface jacket, and desert boots in the winter
- chinos, casual buttoned shirts, and sperrys in the fall.

We drive BMWs, Range Rovers, Maseraris, and other luxery cars. We go to private or public schools. We work hard to keep up a perfect GPA, and we party even harder. Ours lives are all about being happy, and we are.

City prep - Hey man, I've missed you!
East coast prep- As have I. A game of Polo, perhaps?
City prep - I'm afraid I haven't played much in LA. Maybe some soccer instead?
East coast prep- Of course, let's go!
