Furlough

In the UK, a term used for welfare for typically middle - upper class people who still wish to distinguish themselves from the 'underserving benefits scroungers' they vote to abuse. Money for nothing except it's different if you're rich somehow.

Bob: I just got furloughed due to Covid-19, f*ck I might have to sell my second country home, can't afford much on 5k a month to sit on my ass.
Janet: But you said you thought welfare bums should be on the street.
Bob: Yeah but I'm different.

furlough time

Time spent at work doing absolutely nothing work related, to make up for the furlough day the company gave you to save money due to poor financial management.

Bob: Jim, you've been goofing off all day, what gives?"

Jim: "I'm taking my furlough time. I've got four more hours to spend tomorrow."

furlough envy

With the downturn in the economy some companies are instituting a work furlough. Unpaid time off, with a guarantee to return to work. Most furloughs are 1-5 days off a month. Furlough envy is when someone is jealous of someone else's unpaid time off.

Dude, did you hear Jack's company is doing a 10 percent work furlough? Damn, that's fucking sweet. I've got a bitchin' case of furlough envy.

furlough tourettes

The act of uncontrollably erupting into a profanity laced hate-bomb directed at Governor Schwarzenegger each and every time the word “furlough” is heard, (most commonly diagnosed in California state workers).

"Furlough, f@cking bullsh&t, c*cksucker. I'd like to furlough that motherf#cker right in his five foot nothing ass!" said Bill.

Sadly, this is yet another sad case of furlough tourettes.
