RANDOM LINGO
Work Husband
(1). The guy at work that you are currently are, or want to be, engaged in an extramarital affair with.
(2). The male counterpart to a work wife. He’s the guy in the office that you are a little too comfortable with, tell a little too much too, and the guy’s ass that you “accidentally” grab after that second cosmo. Chill out Karen, everyone knows, and all the ladies (and possibly some guys) are jealous.
“Can you believe Ted and Karen? He’s totally her work husband. It’s not cute and they are totally sleeping together, and even if they’re not, they want to. Why doesn’t Ted notice me? I don’t get it. My Facebook posts are clearly geared towards him. Karen doesn’t post anything on her Facebook account just for him like I do. Slut.”
White Shoe
(1). A top-tier law firm, generally populated with pretentious Ivy Leaguers who are, for all intents and purposes, in love (and possibly trying to have sex) with their business cards. Attorneys in white shoe firms never miss an opportunity to tell you (i) where they work, and (ii) where they went to law school.
“His resume says he works at a big, white shoe firm, so I’m not sure we can get him to leave given what we are willing to offer. Wait … he’s a 14th year associate? Offer him $40,000 and some kind of ‘junior partner’ title and he’s gone.”
