Johnny Paycheck

The act of dramatically quitting your worthless job and telling your boss how you really feel about things.

Immortalized in the 1981 song “Take this Job and Shove It” Written and by redneck artist David Allen Coe and performed by country western idol Johnny Paycheck.

In the construction industry a full Johnny Paycheck is punctuated by forcefully throwing your hardhat or a half full beer bottle at the boss.

Variation: "You can't fire me - I quit!!!

Ironworker #2: "Yeah man he had a liquid lunch and did a Johnny Paycheck down at the main office"
Welder #1 "He threw a beer at that cocksucker from quality assurance and sent him to the hospital"
Ironworker #1"I'll have to buy the man beer!"

Whole Paycheck

Simply another name for the super market Whole Foods. This play on words makes light of the very high prices of their inventory.
After shopping at Whole Foods, looking at his receipt Joe realized that his whole pay check was now gone. "Whole Foods?!! More like Whole Paycheck you skinny mother fuckers!!!" It was items like the 15 dollar maple syrup that drove the bill up.
