drug worker

SImilar to a sex worker, a drug worker is anyone who works in any capacity in the drug trade, legal or illegal. A pharmacy cashier is a drug worker. A medical marijuana dispensary cashier is a drug worker. Someone who sells heroin needles is a drug worker. A go-between who gets drugs from dealer to customer is a drug worker. A look-out who watches for cops is a drug worker. A person who tests ecstasy at raves is a drug worker.

If we legalized weed, drug workers could pay taxes into the Social SEcurity system and keep it solvent.

Factory Worker's Build

A body type characterized by a muscular frame, with defined arms, legs, chest and ass, but with excess stomach fat and no abdominal strength to speak of. This is due to excessive use of the lifting muscles, leaving them large and toned, but a poor diet and stress that causes a 'beer gut'-like stomach. This build is typcally seen on factory workers, as they lift and move heavy equpient during long shifts at the factory all week, then eat and drink away the stress at night and on weekends

After four years working all day at the Goodyear tire plant and drinking with his collge buddies all night, John developed a bit of a factory worker's build.

small cubicle worker

Someone who is so distressed by the prospect of not being able to access their emails for a few minutes that they insist on emailing on their Blackberry while using the office toilets. Easily identified by the tell-tale sounds of the keypad and scroll wheel.

Garry's a really dedicated small cubicle worker. You always hear him tapping away in there.
