Halo Workout

At the end of a Halo game, everyone playing takes the number of deaths they had during the last round, does that many push-ups and then proceeds to do double that number of sit-ups. The goal is to equal out days of Halo play with a little excercise.

Alright, I had seven deaths. I'll do the Halo Workout and be back in seven push-ups and fourteen sit-ups.

drug worker 

SImilar to a sex worker, a drug worker is anyone who works in any capacity in the drug trade, legal or illegal. A pharmacy cashier is a drug worker. A medical marijuana dispensary cashier is a drug worker. Someone who sells heroin needles is a drug worker. A go-between who gets drugs from dealer to customer is a drug worker. A look-out who watches for cops is a drug worker. A person who tests ecstasy at raves is a drug worker.

If we legalized weed, drug workers could pay taxes into the Social SEcurity system and keep it solvent.

workaholic 

A person who is addicted to working, to the point where their life consists only of work and sleep. They have very few friends, if any, and some rarely see their own families.
Workaholics often suffer from fatigue, sleeping disorders, stress and stress-related ailments, and some eventually work themselves to death. Workaholics are a common sight in some East Asian countries, but are less prevalent in North America and even less in Europe.

Jimmy neglects his family so he can spend more time working, he's a workaholic.

workwords 

Cheery, professional sounding words that you say in the context of your work role that harbor hostility and aggression that you can’t express outwardly.

Yes, my workwords absolutely do mean “fuck off” when I say “no worries,” or “fuck you” when I am telling you to “have a nice day!”

workplace masochism 

When you choose to nearly work yourself to death, citing heavy job responsibility as the reason you have no life beyond your work.

Immediately following getting sober, I indulged in about five years of dedicated workplace masochism.
