Bentgineering works

When train companies shut various parts of the national network (usually on a weekend), causing untold inconvenience for the mugs who already pay through the nose for a shite service. Incredibly gay (no offence) and annoying.
"Shit, I was going to visit my sister in Newcastle this weekend, but there are bentgineering works on GNER".

"That's so bent, the line was fucked up a fortnight ago too".

Linger Working

A form of working most commonly found among most construction and all military jobs.
When working outside, frequent smoke breaks, chatting with coworkers, adjusting ipod/changing song and quick snack breaks constitutes linger working.
Linger Working is taught by direct superiors and usually caused by no predetermined time deadline or little interest in day to day activites by higher ups. In most cases, lingering is actually encouraged by chain of command.
Doushebag1: Man, youve been chipping, grinding and sanding all day and that wall isnt even bare metal.

Doushebag2: Dude fuck that, todays a tuesday, ive been linger working. I smoked three packs of newports, listened to Yani's greatest hits, ran 4 miles then lifted, ate 2 bags of beef jerkey, and at noon my E-6 started walking around in a speedo talking about his pet falcon.

Work Scholarship

In the college world, many honors students get financial aid through what is called a "work scholarship".

This is, for all intents and purposes, indentured servitude.

The work itself is almost always menial and meaningless, and it is easier to schedule an interview with manti te'o's girlfriend than it is to find out how much the scholarship is actually worth. But rest assured, you will never see a dime of your "wages".

Also,if you come up short of the 75 required work hours in the semester, prepare to have your balls lopped off.
Person 1: "Did you get in to that college?"

Person 2: "Yeah, and I got offered a work scholarship!"

Person 1: "I thought indentured servitude was illegal?"
