Bangable Piece of Work

A girl who is very wild, rowdy and requires lots of energy to tame, but in the end is highly sexy and worth every minute you spend with her because she's such a good lay.

Dam, that girl is a bangable piece of work. She is really wild all the time but is so great in bed so it's fine.

work hard play hard

Attitude (often motto) present in many elitist or successful groups of people especially at wealthy, elite private schools, expensive highly-ranked universities, and among yuppies. Basically means that one works hard at school or their job while they also party on the weekends (or weekdays as well, depending on how far they take it).

Stupid because it basically provides an excuse for mindless partying directing one's life without any space for taking anything seriously in the world.

Sometimes leads to side effects like alcoholism. Usually outgrown as one gets older.

Ivy league student: WHAT CAN I SAY WORK HARD PLAY HARD
