Blue collar

Someone who works in a small shop, factory, construction site, plant, or travels for contract work. Could be unskilled heavy manual labor. Like throwing a shovel. Skilled heavy manual labor, like hot tar roofing. Unskilled widget assembly line work, or skilled custom heavy manufacturing, or any support roles for these things. Wages range from disgustingly low to disgustingly high. Normally a blue collar worker's worth is directly related to what and how obscure his skills are. How in demand his skills are. And how unpleasant and dirty the work is that these workskills need applied. An electrician gets paid a lot more than a landscaper.

Seamless Collaborative Guy Lie

The rare /phenomenon in which each man in a room is caught in a snafu of being in the middle of a sticky situation. This causes compulsive lying where each guy builds off the other man's lie. It is the most flawless of plans because women tend to lose interest in anything men say fairly quickly. First popularized by Scrubs when Carla walked in on all the male staff watching Carla and Turk's nanny for Izzy on the television. Carla walks in, and all the men enter the Seamless Collaborative Guy Lie Zone.

“And then every male in the room felt totally in sync, resulting in the rarest of all phenomenon - the seamless collaborative guy lie.”— J.D.'s narration
“Hey baby, what are you guys watching?”— Carla

“Football.”— Turk

(Everyone agrees)

“Football? Isn't the season over?” -Carla

“And that's why we're watching football in the spring.”— Turk
