going vest

at prom or another party at which you wear a vest with other fancy clothing over it but it's way too hot so you take off your blazer/tux/suit/whatever and wear your vest on the outside.

DAMN, this tux is way hotter than I was expecting! As soon as I get to prom tomorrow night I'm going vest.

Vest friend

A person you don't necessarily know, but the person is in fact wearing an almost identical vest as you do, and therefore you feel obligated to initiate a dialog.

Vest guy 1: Hey man! Nice vest!
Vest guy 2: Hey! Nice vest man!

Two months later at Waffle House:

Vest guy 1: Hey man! I recognize that vest!
Vest guy 2: Howdy! Yeah! We're like vest friends now!

Get the Vest friendmug.

A newer derogatory term used for those stuck in low-end service roles due to socioeconomic status. These are people who are either trying to be more upwardly mobile socially or are stuck in this kind of abusive service work, where the pay is minimal and working conditions are awful. These roles can be semi drivers, warehouse workers, anyone at Amazon Fulfillment, and other transportation workers. These roles are deemed essential to the economy but are targeted to be replaced by AI and other mechanization and process controls currently in place.

All workers clocking into the Amazon warehouse are Yellow vest workers. They are wearing reflective vests and are all going to be subjected to much work at low wages during their shifts.
