Words you can keep
Short for "vocateur", which would literally gloss to "one who practices a vocation", but actually means one who is enthusiastically devoted to their vocation.
Introduced by the utopian science fiction political opera, Terra Ignota, which was set in a world where work is optional and most people don't do very much of it at all. The world of Terra Ignota naturally developed a label for the strange people who continued to work.

In that world, and in ours, a Voker is one who spends most of their time working even when they are not required to in order to live and be accepted, because they love their work (or in some sad cases, because they hate everything else).
So you're gonna just stay here all night, drink your soylent, and work?
*Shrug* What can I say. I'm a voker.

The ministry? I'd be a voker too, if I had a job at the ministry.

Sugiyama: “Oh, it was sudden. I know doctors keep telling me I have another fifty years left in me, but after seventy-two
years as a journalist voker I decided it was time to pay more attention to family. Knowing me, I probably won’t be able to keep myself entirely retired very long, but it’s the plan for now.”

Sugiyama: “Ever calculate what portion of your time you spend with the people you care most about?”

Guildbreaker: “My bash’ are all vokers.”

Sugiyama: “Ha. No hope for you then.”

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.

They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
