Working Stiff

A person who works for a living. A wage earner of some sort.
Fred: I heard they're handing out $50k to people with bad mortgages. Do you think the average working stiff will see ever a dime??

Steve: No chance in hell.

Government work

Work Chick

Related to Beer Goggles, it is the psychological phenomenon that causes average women at your work to appear 10 times hotter than they would outside the walls of your office. If you had met the same person at the mall or beach a month earlier, you wouldn’t give her a second look. But because you spend 50 hours a week with her, an arc of distortion occurs somewhere between the retina and ocular nerve distorting your perception of her hotness.
Brian: “Dude, you should see this new chick Karen in accounting. She is so frickin HOT.”

Mark: “Is she really hot Brian, or is she a work chick?”

God’s work

When you’re giving back the karma that shitty people deserve.
“Hey Bro that girl is a toxic liar, why are you investing so much time in her?”
“Because I’m going to toy with her emotions just like she did with the many guys before her. I’m doing God’s work”

work wife

That person at work (same or opposite sex) that takes the place of your "at home" spouse while you are at work (no sexual relationship is part of this being!) You talk with, connect to, and relate to this person as good as or better than your "at home" spouse with regards to all things work related.
While at the monthly incentive meeting, my work wife, Ryan and I shared an inside joke about how bad our boss' suit was..what the hell was that stain and how did it get there?

sleep working

working while still sleeping, somehow you manage to get the job done without being fully awake. Related to sleep walking and sleep talking, only you get paid. Not to be confused with other occupations involving getting paid for being in bed.
The tech support guys on the night shift were very adept at sleep working, the customers calling in never knew they were talking and typing with their eyes closed.
