working families

(Chiefly used in the plural form.) A high-maintenance demographic identified by politicians (such as Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd) as requiring especial economic and moral support of their chosen lifestyle, as well as requiring constant and frequently gratuitous mention in political rhetoric -- in particular, during electioneering and in Budget speeches. In political demography, "working families" may be considered the human counterpart of the sacred cow.

Antonyms to "working families" are difficult to specify as politicians refuse to confirm any type of eligible voter as definitely excluded by the term. However, examination of the context in which "working families" is used suggests that it essentially refers to households in which dependent children reside. Thus, antonyms would include (among others) "single people", "couples without children", and "empty-nesters".

We must abolish WorkChoices (draconian industrial relations legislation) because it's unfair to working families.

The Familiars

A Blink/AVA "fan" who calls themselves "fans" yet bitch, moan, or complain about the band or any of its musical choices, sales, promotion tactics, appearances on modlife, or personal choices in life. These "fans" also never seem to branch out to the bands musical influences and usually band together in small groups of retards.

"Omg I cant wait to see my favorite band AVA!!!!!!"
"Angels and Airwaves are sell outs now"
"I dont like Blink 182, but I like Angels and Airwaves"
"AAAHSDKJFSJDLKFJSDLKFJ ATOM LEFT THE BAND!! LIFE IS OVERRRRRRR AJDFSDLKFJSDFLKSFDJSFDL"
"I HATE ILAN RUBIN!" 10 minutes later "OMG ILAN RUBIN ROCKS!!!!"
"Tom should just leave Blink 182 and focus on AVA!!!!"
