grunt work

Simple-minded, repetitive and some times redundant work.

Using a lawnmower can take the grunt work out of pruning the lawn. ;)

Work wife

The coworker of your preference that makes working the overnight shift tolerable. A funny, beautiful, witty, and entertaining female counterpart in the work place.

If it wasn’t for my work wife, I would quit working in this hell hole.

Work CC'd

When an employee that does not get along with another employee, deliberately copies all email correspondence to a boss just to get the employee in trouble; a form of work tattle-tailing.

Shit! Teresa just Work CC'd our boss on the blown development deal.

Wordanista

A person who spends their life telling others what is or is not a word, based on what they have read in books.
First coined by Steven Colbert on the Colbert Report during a segment of The Word.

I know you Wordanistas love to say funner is not a word, but it is, i looked it up in my gut, and that's the Truth.

What is it with you Wordanistas telling me what is and what isnt a word. Who made Merriam Webster God?

"And that brings us to tonight's word: truthiness. Now I'm sure some of the Word Police, the wordanistas over at Webster's, are gonna say, 'Hey, that's not a word.'"

put in work

Applying personal initiative and responsibility throughout a duration of time, in order to accomplish either a short or long term goal.

Son: Dad i really want to own my own business one day and grow up to be a chulo just like you.

Dad: First off you can never be a true chulo, but if you go to college, study hard and put in work, one day you might own your own business.
