A striker who occasionally drops down to midfield. Doesnt do for it himself but instead to help the team. Can be also labelled as a false striker. The middle ground between a No 9 and a No 10. This player is a little different than others but being different is good.
Joshua Zirkzee's goalscoring and linkup play is so good, its almost like he's a No 9.5

A traditional eight hour day shift.

In some companies, the 9-5 is really 8:30-5 or 9-5:30. It's an extra half hour because of an unpaid 30 minute lunch break. In companies where you're paid by the hour, it's so you don't lose out on 30 minutes of pay. In ones where you're paid by the year, it's pretty much squeazing the extra half hour out of you in order to make up for the 30 minute lunch.

It generally refers to working Monday through Friday but in modern times where services are expected to be availalble durring non business hours, evening and weekend shifts are becomming an increasingly required demand of employees.
I used to work the traditional Mon-Fri 9-5 day shift but they've got me working weekends in the evenings now.

In street lingo, or perhaps in slang version, 9-5 is an adjective that references having/living an average life workin' a typical hard-labor, low-wager job. Obviously this is conclusive of the general 9-5 definition of having a job that's essentially that 8-hour, 5 times a week shift. But back on street talk, it's being stuck with a dead end job that brings in enough money afford the minimal bills putting whatever food onthe table that comes by.
"C'mon Chris this new job at a super Wal-Mart will be like free money."
"Hell no, first cashier at Wal-Mart, next supervisor on a longer term basis; I'll be damned if end up livin' a 9-5 worth nothin life. I'm gunna make it even if I gotta travel that high road on my own."

"He never felt right holding down a 9-5 it made the ends meet but it never made him feel alive"

Mythical hours that hardly anybody works anymore. Some might still work 8 hours, but they're mostly not 9-5.
Do YOU work 9-5? Do ya punk?
