work head

A term for when the kind of work you do almost totally consumes your mind and so you take it home with you.

I’m sitting down to a lovely dinner and my work head has me in knots!

Work Mouth

A form of self-censorship practiced at work to avoid offensive or cuss words. Typically includes cuss-replacements you learned from your grandma. Potentially embarrassing if accidentally used outside of work at parties or in the company of your drunk friends.

May also be used in the company of grandparents, teachers, preachers, and others who disapprove of cussing.

Does not apply to all professions. Musicians and construction workers have no need for a work mouth.

At work:
-Did you just say fuck?
-Yeah, sorry. I forgot to use my work mouth.

At a party:
-Did you just say fiddlesticks?
-Yeah, sorry. I still have my work mouth on.

work rape

when someone you try to avoid at work catches you at your desk when you are not paying attention, thereby holding you there against your will while they spout their meaningless opinions about work goings-on

this can also occur in hallways/stairways/others' offices

this person does not necessarily have to be a coworker, work rapists may include: salespeople, delivery people, children of the owner

Valerie: "Where's Mike?"

Janet: "Oh, poor guy, Herbie is in today - caught Mike at his desk and is work raping him about some new scheme he has."

Valerie: "HR really needs to do something about our frequent work rape situations!"

work widow

Commonly found among the partners of consultants and salespeople, a state of "temporary widowhood" caused by the work or work travel schedule of a significant other. A woman, married or in a relationship, who is often left alone on a regular basis for significant periods of time (multiple days), enough to seem to be single or without companionship.

Male version: Work Widower

With her husband's work schedule only allowing him to visit every other weekend, she was often know to refer to herself as a 'work widow'.

Work wife

A woman with whom you work, whose proximity and frequent interaction leads to her becoming your primary female companion during work hours. She will become a substitute for your wife while you are at work, providing companionship and support, but without the emotional and sexual elements. For a time. You will eventually develop a huge crush on her, but will think you've kept it hidden. You haven't -everyone at work will think it's obvious.

Drone 1: Mr W and Mrs C really seem to make a good team.

Drone 2: Yeah, she's his work wife. He'd be lost without her.

Drone 1: Oh, she's just his work wife? So there's nothing going on there?

Drone 2 : No. But he wishes there was. So bad.
