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?

working man

The act of having sex with a female and then doing a shift right after.

Went up to Sally's last night and gave 'er a right working man. Shagged 'er, got me boots on, then off to work. Best shift I've ever done.

Work

Pay for work? Labor? Intellectual property that amounts to more that YOU ever could have accomplished or will accomplish EVER for the reason of your life?

Hym "Yes. I expect you to pay for work and these people ARE NOT GOING TO FEEL BAD FOR YOUR DEAD KIDS WHEN I TAKE THEM AS A CONSOLATION PRIZE IF I DO NOT GET THAT MONEY."

Work-up

To toggle with lights while moving through a dark area to stay in light so that monsters, superstitions, supernatural beings, etc. dont attack you.

I had to work-up to get to my room without the monster in the hall catching me!
