work ethic 

The apparently foreign concept (at least in the the U.S.) that people should work hard to get the job done no matter how much they're being paid.

If people in this country had better work ethic, we wouldn't have to outsource and the illegal immigrants wouldn't be "stealing" jobs from us.

Ethical Hacker 

A term used to denote a person with exceptional skills in computer security that uses them to hack into systems with legitimate reasons and with permission.

AKA, a hacker that is good

John got permission before he broke into Google's server in London, so he can't be tried for any crimes. Lucky bastard, he got away for being an ethical hacker.
