(Chiefly used in the plural form.) A high-maintenance demographic identified by politicians (such as Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd) as requiring especial economic and moral support of their chosen lifestyle, as well as requiring constant and frequently gratuitous mention in political rhetoric -- in particular, during electioneering and in Budget speeches. In political demography, "working families" may be considered the human counterpart of the sacred cow.
Antonyms to "working families" are difficult to specify as politicians refuse to confirm any type of eligible voter as definitely excluded by the term. However, examination of the context in which "working families" is used suggests that it essentially refers to households in which dependent children reside. Thus, antonyms would include (among others) "single people", "couples without children", and "empty-nesters".

We must abolish WorkChoices (draconian industrial relations legislation) because it's unfair to working families.

Do work as in stay busy, make moves, get it done, dont be lazy, get it up, bang out finals, make calls to ppl you usually dont, round up the troops, hammer chicks, get lit, do work. A better version of Get er done.
Nutritionist: Do you ever eat to the point where you feel overstuffed and uncomfortable?
Big Black: No, No because that means its about time to do work. Its time to go take a dump.

Get the do workmug. The work crush is the attraction of two co-workers (the client/vendor relationship also qualifies) but the relationship is of mutual respect and admiration. Work crushes tend to get Starbucks together, chat on the phone, IM, and eat together. They spend so much time together or their interactions are so natural and easy that many think they are actually involved. The work crush is always platonic. If it turns sexual, it is no longer a crush and has now become an affair.

Get the work on MAmug. To orally or manually stimulate the clitoris. This is inspired by the anatomy of the vagina as the clitoris is nicely situated between the labia, or in the middle of the labia. Hence the phrase.. " work the middle". We have American pop artist "Allyah" to thank for this public service announcement/song that brought so much awareness to often forgotten and ignored lady parts. The phrase was originally coined in Allyahs hit song " Rock the Boat".
