A particularly interesting term in that its two different meanings are indicative of opposite ends of the quality continuum.
1. When used to refer to tools of the trade that might be used by contractors, this term is used to indicate tools that are very rugged and of the highest quality.
2. When used to refer to the equipment & materials that a contractor, when left to his own devices, will install in a house or building, this term means the least expensive materials the contractor could get his hands on to get the job done.

1 - Look at this hammer - it's contractor grade.
2 - Just install some contractor grade cabinets; we don't have to live in it.

Get the Contractor Grade mug.Road construction is a team sport, usually played by only one team. The object of the game is to place as many orange cones on the road for as long as possible. The sport attracts a variety of spectators usually arriving by vehicle in the earlier mornings and in the late afternoons. The sport can also be coupled with a game of Detour. In the game of Detour, the fans are given a series of complicated directions to follow with one critical piece of information missing. The object of the game of Detour is to determine this critical piece of information.
1. Hey Bob, I'll be watching the Road Construction this morning so I'll be late to work.
2. Yeah, sorry I'm late. Detour lasted a lot longer than expected. They gave us some really tough clues.

Get the Contractionitis mug.The time of year when it seems like every main road or side street is undergoing some sort of roadway construction. The fixing of potholes, trimming of branches, or (personal favorite) middle of the road guy in a manhole doing god knows what, are typical of construction season.
Getting to the beach was a bitch today, fuckin construction season is in full force!
I didn't even realize construction season was around the corner till they marked up my street with paint.

Get the construction season mug.The "prepared" beach-goer. Usually a large group of people, beach contractors can usually be identified by their large beach tent, excessive amount of drink coolers, towels, volley-ball net, and meat. Beach contractors spend just as much time setting up their tent, hauling their equipment from the car, and packing it all back in as much as they actually enjoy the beach. Beach contractors often come out on weekends, and stay for the entire day.
Maybe people dislike the beach contractor, because they are often loud and obnoxious; while others enjoy and linger near the beach contractor, because they can usually score food off them.

Kevin: Gee, Dave, I'm starved!
Dave: Look, it seems those beach contractors over there are just getting set up!
Kevin: Let's go linger and maybe score some food.

Get the beach contractor mug.The absolute opposite of a hot receptionist/secretary.
A secretary so unappealing that not only would you never dare consider risking your job for sexual relations with her, but you're completely put off the entire female gender every time you pass her desk.
