do work son

Big Black (best known for his role on MTV's Rob & Big) is credited with this saying -- in fact he has a clothing line named after it (dowork.com).

Do work means to do your best, get after it, step up and push through barriers, overcome & achieve, etc. It's basically a way of encouraging someone to work hard. A more redneck version would be Get'er done!

Son in this usage is referring to a close friend or at least someone who would appreciate the colloquial/familiar greeting.
Person 1: Man, I need to get some good grades this last semester...
Person 2: Do work son!

Person 1: Just landed an interview with this great company and hope to make an impression.
Person 2: Do work son.

Person 1: Imma get swole as fuck!
Person 2: Do work son!

Work Talk Violation

When in a social setting, an individual only talks about the work. They have such tunnel vision there unable to discuss any other subject matter that may be interesting to the other party as well. They are at a level of narcissism thinking that other people really want to hear them whine and complain about their work. These individuals tend never to ask questions about what you're doing. On the off chance, if you share some personal information about yourself, they can't remember those details because they are so consumed by their work life.
Sitting in the main square on the fountain, I bumped into my buddy Wayne who I hadn't seen a while, instead of catching up, he committed a Work Talk Violation.
