“Government work” is what one does for oneself in a shop on company time using company tools, machinery and materials. “Government work” “hides” the fact that you are stealing company resources by implying that it’s a secret, off the books, project. But since everyone knows what “government work” means you really aren’t hiding anything, you’re sharing an inside joke.
When someone says “that’s good enough for government work,” they are admitting that they are doing less than perfect work because it’s just for their personal use.

Get the Government work mug.Work is the definition of long ours and hard time put into effort. It seems to never end, though work can sometimes be fun. If you work at a pizza place, or a kids playground!

Get the Work with Kathryn Hahn mug.Short for working class asshole. People who think they are better than welfare bums because they work for a living. These creatures work 80 hours a week for their entire lives to have a fraction of what a welfare bum can make sitting around doing nothing. They then proceed to complain about the welfare system and talk about how they are so much better than welfare recipients.
