“Government work” is what one does for oneself in a shop on company time using company tools, machinery and materials. “Government work” “hides” the fact that you are stealing company resources by implying that it’s a secret, off the books, project. But since everyone knows what “government work” means you really aren’t hiding anything, you’re sharing an inside joke.
When someone says “that’s good enough for government work,” they are admitting that they are doing less than perfect work because it’s just for their personal use.

Worker 1: What’s that? It doesn’t look like any of our usual products.
Worker 2: I can’t tell you, It’s government work.
Worker 1: It looks like a part for your new motorcycle.
Worker 2: I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you.

Worker 1: That part you’re working on will never pass inspection.
Worker 2: Doesn’t matter, it’s government work.

Get the Government work mug.The middle school girls who bought their first perfume here grew up and now use this place to linger while the kids are at school. Despite the retail apocalypse this store is kept alive by this demographic and has no signs of closing anytime soon. They have some good products but it's nearly impossible to make your way around the store with all of the moms loitering and taking up space. Store associates are always friendly. They will offer samples or ask if you need help no matter who you are, but with all of the customers gossiping, arguing with other associates, and cackling at old Facebook jokes, they can barely hear you. The store's prices aren't bad and they always have sales, but the constant sales and generous return policy unfortunately attracts a lot of Karens and problematic customers. The brand has tried to expand their men's line and other products that compliment body care. This includes small home decor, accessories, and sleepwear. The sleepwear line got pulled from the shelves almost instantly due to suburban moms raising havoc on the internet. The reason? They didn't include a plus size line, therefore they were being discriminatory because their target demographic couldn't fit them.
Bath & Body Works' semi annual sale starts today, I'm heading to the mall after work.
Are you sure? All of the soccer moms are probably lining up outside the mall entrance as we speak. You should probably skip work and just go now.
I really want that snowman candle holder. But do I need it? I'm trying to be good.
Get it! You can always return it if you change your mind in a year. If you don't get it now, some unemployed stay at home mom will list it on Poshmark or Mercari for $200. She has to pay her bills somehow.

Get the Keep working and shut that guy up or we'll turn off the food stamps mug.Short for working class asshole. People who think they are better than welfare bums because they work for a living. These creatures work 80 hours a week for their entire lives to have a fraction of what a welfare bum can make sitting around doing nothing. They then proceed to complain about the welfare system and talk about how they are so much better than welfare recipients.
