spec work

Spec work (short for speculative) is any job for which the client expects to see examples or a finished product before agreeing to pay a fee.

The client wasn't satisfied with the job so the designer didn't get his fee, because he agreed to do spec work.

Busy work

Busy work is when a teacher is so behind in their lesson plans and needs to put grades so they give their students random ass assignments and say it will “prepare them for college”

“Hey Jamie what homework did you give your students over break”
“Well twin, I gave them busy work because I missed two weeks of school and I’m so behind! I’m also just a bitch”

right to work

an Orwellian term corporate owned politicians use to describe laws intended to weaken unions and drive down wages

The company demanded the workers take a huge pay cut, but since the factory was in a state with a right to work law the union lacked the clout to stand up for the workers and were forced to accept the companies demands.

Do Work

Coined by Rob Dyrdek and his personal body guard Christopher "Big Black" Boykins, "Do Work" works as a self motivator, to motivating your friends. It ranges from, but is not limited to "taking a dump" and "Nailing" a skateboarding trick. The possibilities for this phrase are endless, you just have to know how to use it.

Also, D.W, short for "Do Work" can be used as well.

Example:

Person 1: I'm going to backflip off of this 20 foot ledge.
Person 2: DO WORK!

Example 2:
Person 1: Oh shit son, did you see that backflip off that 20 foot ledge?!
Person 2: DO WORK BABY!, D. W. DO WORK.
