I want to work with you

A euphemism for telling someone you intend to fuck them over somehow; as in a business arrangement.

"I know you already signed a lease with me, but let me change the terms of the agreement now; I want to work with you".

Work Experience

A way that schools force you into a "work environment"

But in a "work environment" you are paid money.

Basically legal child labour

School "Hey kid you wanna do work experience?"

Kid "Am I paid for the labour?"

Schools "no? Why do you need money, you're a child"

Kid "isn't that just child labour?"

School "haha no"

let the model work

Asshole corporate language for shut the fuck up and accept "the model".

John, you can't possibly have an opinion about how things are around here, you need to let the model work.

How does xy work?

A phrase that questions something really simple and has an obvious answer to it, but can become very confusing if the one asking the question knows how to confuse. It can be used to keep up conversations.
It was found on the questions tab of bill wurtz's website

Here's a question that has been haunting me: How the hell does salad work? / How does a backpack actually work? / How does xy work?
