Also known as JSA, this is the standard state handout to the unemployed in the UK.
Jobseeker's Allowance is paid by Jobcentre Plus to Jobseekers, who are required to actively seek work.
In order to receive Jobseeker's Allowance you must go to a branch of Jobcentre Plus so that a member of staff (a Dictator) can find out what sort or work you will have to look for - which is usually the most lowest paid, temporary and agency work. This will be called your Jobseekers Agreement.
If the dictator decides you are doing enough to find work, you will get paid a paltry sum that is not enough to live on.
In order to continue receiving Jobseekers Allowance, you must visit the Jobcentre Plus every 2 weeks - known as "Signing On" to show a dictator evidence of what you have done to find the work that is put down on your Jobseeker's Agreement.
This is very demeaning and the Dictator will make you feel very small and guilty that you are still a jobseeker.
If the dictator thinks you have applied for enough menial jobs but havent got one, you will be eligible for another payment of Jobseeker's Allowance.
You will then have to go back in another 2 weeks to do this again for your next payment of Jobseeker's Allowance.
If the Dictator decides you are not applying for enough jobs, he or she will stop your claim and you will no longer be eligible for any Jobseeker's Allowance.

This sheet is a Ghost hunters main weapon in order to become a ghost buster and the picture evidence to not be a Danny Phantom, (poser). But the holy grail of all jobs is the ghost job.

Get the Cockblocked by Steve Jobs mug.To 'Joosab' is to entice someone out of their hard won riches using a devious ploy, i.e. to swindle them.
It primarily means to swindle with indifference, be it a stranger or a life-long friend, everyone's a target. A 'Joosab' is often carried out through unscrupulous trickery, used to defraud others and eliminate enemies.
To Joosab also incorporates the worst swindling of all, emotional swindling. Ruthless and devastating, it occurs when a Joosabian uses counterfeit emotion to win the hearts of the masses, before dismissing them and hence crushing their spirits. Many who have been so severely Joosab-ed often never recover.
To 'Joosab someone's heart' is a phrase often used to describe heartbreak.
