Co-worker

... you put the dash in the wrong spot. The proper term is cow-orker. :-\

It's not a word. The word is colleague. I know it's hard to spell and it sounds a little French but there is no such thing as a co-worker. If you really dislike the work colleague then use the term work mate.

Ah, but do Mr Websters' cow-orkers agree?

Mr. Webster is a very successful rancher, so his orkers were all busy, out in the fields orking the cows. They could not be reached for comment.

When you buy a pre-owned car...do you get it to *poof* our of thin air? The car is always owned. Once it is purchased new from a dealership, it becomes used. The choices for buying a car is new or used. You don't go to a deal and say you want to buy a not-owned car.... Allowing this type of lingo to slide by and not calling a pre-owned car "used" in front of the salesman reinforces the stupidity of politcal correctness. "Hey Bob, what did you do this weekend?" "I bought a pre-owned vehicle" "Ah, you bought a used car...you fking lemming..." I suppose this is one reason i like programming, one cannot change 0 to 1 and vice-versa..unless we get into quantum computing.........shit in any case, i feel better now

pre-owned is different to used. For example, I could buy a car.. pay for it.. but never collect it, sit in it, start it, open it. It's then pre-owned, but is it used?
No, it's not. "pre-owned" was made up by used car salesmen because the term "used car" had accumulated such a bad connotation. See also "rerun" and "encore presentation".

Actually, co-worker (I prefer cow-orker, too) is in fact a correct term. It is colleague that is often used incorrectly. The difference? Basically, cow-orkers are paid by the hour, and colleagues are salaried or stipended professionals.
