piece of work

Someone who -- although often interesting -- is difficult to get along with on an every day basis. They often make simple things overly complex, or argue points ad infinitum.

Can you drive by my house this evening on your way to work?

Sure, I'll drive by. Do you want me to stop and pick you up when I'm driving by?

Of course I do. You're a real piece of work, aren't you?

Guy1: Be sure to write me soon.

Guy1: Yep. You're fucked
Guy2: Damn.

Ugly Girl Work

physical activities, especially job-related, that are deemed "beneath" one's own personal view of themselves and their own perceived worth, from the belief that "beautiful girls" have laid-back, easy jobs while "ugly girls" do the manual labor, grueling jobs.

"why don't you pick up a broom and help sweep around this place?"

"excuse me? i don't think so! that's ugly girl work there!"

not work legal

Something that is okay by law (mostly), but against company policy.

Guy 1: Dude, check out this video of this girl getting hit in the head with an RC car!

Guy 2: Man, we can't look at that at work, it's totally not work legal!

Guy 1: But look at the girl! She got hit in the head with an RC car!

Boss: You two are fired.
