Several tiny cubicles crammed into one office as desks for graduate students. Like calves being fattened for slaughter, graduate students confined to veal crates can experience chronic stress so extreme as to require medication. Veal-crated students frequently drop our of graduate school after paying tuition for several years, thus helping to ensure that the university's coffers are filled while gaining nothing from the graduate experience but horrible memories and a few useless ideas.
Graduate Student: THIS is my office!!!?? I can't believe it; I'm a PhD student and this is supposed to be a great university. These cubicles are only four feet wide. I'll go insane.
Second Graduate Student: Welcome to the veal crates.
A veal fattening pen is a work environment where the employee sits within a cube farm. In addition to the inconvenience of having no privacy in the veal-fattening pen, a whole series of specialized organizational products will now require purchase or you'll have no place to put your gear. i.e. T-pins instead of push-pins and so on. See also: cube farm
It is time to quit your job when the walls come in for your new veal-fattening pen; for by next week you'll be working in a cube farm.
A phrase used instead of "Deal With It" when eating meat, preferably Veal. Can be used to deflect accusations towards yourself from another, or as a cheesy line in an action movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger where he may kill a guy who is eating Veal at the time.
Example 1
Dude 1: Dude! Thats my veal! I saved it from the other night!
Dude 2: VEAL WITH IT! MOTHAFUCKA!
Example 2
Evil Posh Guy: Oh Clarence, this Veal is simply divine!
*Arnie smashes door down, and shoots everyone in the room without hesitation*
Arnie: VEAL WITH IT! (In thick Austrian accent)
