working hard or hardly working

singlehandedly, the stupidest phrase i have ever heard. it is not funny when used to a student and it is not funny when used to a coworker. you are not witty, you are a dumbass.

first off, there is no way that you can in any way compare working hard to hardly working. how can you confuse the two? you can't.

second off, if you have in some way found a way to a management position and use this phrase, someone in your office is going to send you a big bag of poop.

thirdly, it is not a pick up line. a pick up line is, "hey baby, do you have any black in you? you want some?" this does not compare.

fitzgerald: hey sexy mama, working hard or hardly working?

helga: go fuck yourself.

fitzgerald: okay.

working by the hour

When you see a truck going 10-15 miles per hour under the speed limit, it's a good bet the driver is being paid hourly and not per job. Also, the job is probably unpleasant so getting to it is not a priority.

No wonder traffic isn't moving. That sewer pump out truck driver is working by the hour.

Working Class Syndrome

A deep-seated inferiority complex that is commonplace within the working-classes. The idea that people from ordinary backgrounds perpetuate a self-fulfilling ceiling to what they can accomplish in life, merely because "people like us" don't go on to do great things. The opposite of the sense of entitlement engendered within affluent groups.

"That's a great idea, why don't you work on this?"
"Me?! I'm just a car mechanic from South London, mate, and you know, I don't really have the time."
"Sounds like you have working class syndrome, my boy!"
