jobey

To maliciously cut out a small part of a conversation (cut video, cropped screenshot) to make it look like a person said or did something they didn't. In other words, a specific type of no-context clip/image presented as proof and meant to mislead.
Sarah: Did really say that rape shouldn't be criminalized? You're a monster!
Steve: No..?
Sarah: I have proof, don't lie to me! We can't have psychopaths like you running around!
*Sarah sends screenshot*
Steve: Oh. Someone jobied that. I can send you the full conversation if you want. I actually was arguing how rape is a serious crime and shouldn't be compared to internet flirting.
Sarah: You're a liar!
*Steve sends screenshots*
Sarah: Oh, I feel dumb now. Why would someone do that?!

Jack: I don't approve of gay or transgender, because of my religion.
John: The Bible tells you to love thy brother and judge not, lest ye be judged. You can jobey it to say anything you want to, but don't put words in God's mouth.

Core Jobs

"Those jobs that would afford one to live a middle class life in the United States."
Core Jobs is a term coined by Jay Anderson, longtime financial leader in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and the current President and CEO of Pittsfield Cooperative Bank. Anderson has used the term countless times in discussions in the community, in his role as chairman of the Pittsfield Economic Revitalization Corporation and during appearances on media programs, such as Good Morning Pittsfield on WTBR-FM and Pittsfield Community Television. Further context for this description comes as the number of jobs available in the current economy, while providing income for employees, do not offer enough pay and/or benefits to allow an employee to provide for a respectable quality of life. For example, as large retail big box stores continue to expand further and dominate local markets, they have become large employers in the regions in which they are located. However, these retailers (such as Walmart) have been criticized for paying low wages as a part of a profit-enhancing strategy. Jobs in the service sector, including retail, hospitality, and tourism have been often criticized also as the kind of jobs that do not fit the "core job" description.
