working man

A man who is unlikely to participate in any social activities due to being over encumbered by numerous bills and savings goals. Also known as somebody who is unable to sustain a relationship due to a lack of mental energy to tolerate the bickering and ungodly amount of attention called for by a significant other.

Likely to have few friends, if any. May experience mild to severe mood disorders over time if forced into a solitary living arrangement.

Many working men are caught up in the long working hours and stable income. Consequently, they often do very little to advance into a field that would improve their earning potential, especially if there is risk involved (low introductory pay rates, layoffs, returning to the bottom in seniority, etc.)

working man's phd

phd is short for post hole diggers. A tool used to dig a small round hole straight down into earth. The hole would then be used to place a fence pole or a sign post. Since a working man will never likely have a real PhD, This tool is a working man's phd. Borrowed from a song by country artist Aaron Tippon "working man's phd" where he sings about having pride for working hard for a living.
Don't forget to bring the phd today we need to set up two signs. I have my working man's phd in the back of the truck if we need it.

When you are on an empty airplane and get an entire row to yourself.
The flight from Vegas to Chicago was half empty so I was upgraded to Working Man’s First Class. I got to spread out in the whole row by myself!
