I hate my McJob.

Dear Editor,

A dictionary usually is considered a reliable source for the true meaning of words. Not any more.


heh

That's also an old 'jazz' term for marijuana

McJob first appeared in Douglas Coupland's Generation X. I think that was published in 1990. And he was hardly a moron just making up words. You can literally pull loads of cool phrases out of the margins of that book.

And 'jazz' in an old pre-jazz term for sex, so I was told by a professor I had.

But while I don't have a McJob at the moment, I do sit all day in a veal fattening pen with my air family and try to ignore the thoughts of ozmosis.

I've heard that too...the way I understand it, at the turn of the century brothels used to hire musicians (usually black) to entertain the johns while they were waiting. That's how it became associated with the music.

Think about that next time Kenny G. comes on over the supermarket sound system.

I had a McJob, where I cooked McNuggets, had McLanguage, and the opportunity to go to Hamburger University for McManagement.

They liked my McSeptumRing.
