What is the meaning of the phrase “working for service”?
A total stranger came up to me and said “I know you work for service.” He then dashed away before I could ask him what the hell he meant.
Secret Service?
Probably a paranoid nutjob.
Hmmmm . . . I wouldn’t read too much into it. Based on your description of the event, had he not run away my guess is that his next question would have been “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”
First thing that came to my mind was “working in service” – like a butler, footman, or chambermaid.
It means he’s a weirdo.
Since you failed to reply, “The service works for itself,” you did not get the drop.
I think you misunderstood. He thought you work for the star and co-creator of “The Office”.
It could mean all sorts of things.
The first two things that came to my mind were Escort Service, and Employee Service.
I’ve worked for a service… as a programmer. I was a contracted out to Hewlett Packard; but I was actually employed by “the service.”
In other words it could mean working for anything that is providing service to someone else. I wouldn’t think it sounded odd to hear “He works for the dry cleaning service,” or “he works for the postal service.”
We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
Perhaps he named his penis “service” and it was meant as a compliment.
