Similar to the effects of Stockholm Syndrome
This describes people who have been put on furlough that now face the grim prospect of returning to work after months of government funded drinking but would rather not.
Now people are becoming accustomed to their new way of life of being paid to be philosophical and wake up in the mid afternoon their dreams are shattered at there boss phones to say we’re open again and you’ll have to earn your money. This call would have been welcomed in the before times instead of redundancy , but now you’ve had the greener grass, you’d rather stay home with your family and maybe have a go on the washing up.
For the last few weeks the most taxing thing that’s happened is an awkward handover from a food delivery driver, almost like they were handing over a primed dirty bomb, once the box is inside and had a quick going over with some antibac your laughing.
Sadly this greener grass is wilting though and the treasury is out of cash to keep it going. You need to cut your own hair to look reasonable and order some overpriced masks to protect yourself and head out on an expedition to the office (insert soiling sound)
Stay safe

Worker 1: Garry not coming back to work then?
Worker 2: No, he got Furlough Syndrome and couldn’t face coming back. He’s on universal credit until he feels “less stressed..... and sober”

Get the Furlough Syndromemug. In the UK, a term used for welfare for typically middle - upper class people who still wish to distinguish themselves from the 'underserving benefits scroungers' they vote to abuse. Money for nothing except it's different if you're rich somehow.
Bob: I just got furloughed due to Covid-19, f*ck I might have to sell my second country home, can't afford much on 5k a month to sit on my ass.
Janet: But you said you thought welfare bums should be on the street.
Bob: Yeah but I'm different.

Get the Furloughmug. by Rando07845 August 7, 2025
Get the Furloughmug. Furlough Fucker (noun) - A person who is paid 80% of their normal salary by the UK government and refuses to actually listen to it. Can often be seen flouting the rules and ignoring every step of government guidance. Constantly complain that they are not being topped up the extra 20% by their employer. Can commonly be seen in large crowds in parks, beaches, back gardens and everyone elses houses because they feel like the rules don't apply to them. Complain that some key workers get to go to the front of the queue at Supermarkets because they are the lucky ones that actually have a job and CAN go to work. Impartial to an illegal rave and copious amounts of laughing gas because it eases their pain of being furloughed and Covid-19 can't be transmitted whilst drunk, if it is transmitted then they just say that they were drunk. Lastly, complain that they are bored and unhappy about life so queue for hours outside stores and then spend an eternity inside to keep others out.

Get the Furlough Fuckermug. Refers to a chick's boob that you're temporarily "liberated" from her upper-body garment (i.e., you reached into the lady's collar-opening and hauled out one of her "girls") so that you could play with it bare and suck on her nipple for a moment before "putting it back into its jail cell".
Lots of buxom gals are more than willing to let you perform a "girl on furlough" maneuver; out of consideration and respect for her, though, be sure to (1) be very gentle with her chest-pillows, and (2) always take the time and effort to properly "tuck The Girls back inside" --- i.e., neatly re-arrange the girl's blouse, tank top, bra, etc. to return everything to how it had been before you started playing around with her chest, so that the boob-sharing chick will feel secured and comfy again after you've had your fun.
