What is 9 to 5?

In street lingo, or perhaps in slang version, 9-5 is an adjective that references having/living an average life workin' a typical hard-labor, low-wager job. Obviously this is conclusive of the general 9-5 definition of having a job that's essentially that 8-hour, 5 times a week shift. But back on street talk, it's being stuck with a dead end job that brings in enough money afford the minimal bills putting whatever food onthe table that comes by.

"C'mon Chris this new job at a super Wal-Mart will be like free money."
"Hell no, first cashier at Wal-Mart, next supervisor on a longer term basis; I'll be damned if end up livin' a 9-5 worth nothin life. I'm gunna make it even if I gotta travel that high road on my own."

9 to 5 - what is it?

A traditional eight hour day shift.

In some companies, the 9-5 is really 8:30-5 or 9-5:30. It's an extra half hour because of an unpaid 30 minute lunch break. In companies where you're paid by the hour, it's so you don't lose out on 30 minutes of pay. In ones where you're paid by the year, it's pretty much squeazing the extra half hour out of you in order to make up for the 30 minute lunch.

It generally refers to working Monday through Friday but in modern times where services are expected to be availalble durring non business hours, evening and weekend shifts are becomming an increasingly required demand of employees.

I used to work the traditional Mon-Fri 9-5 day shift but they've got me working weekends in the evenings now.

9 to 5 - definition

An extremely hot chick who becomes much less so when she begins to talk, revealing the inner workings (or lack thereof) of her pea sized brain. Not a problem for short term satisfaction but greatly reduces any chance of long-term relationships. A 9 to 5 sometimes shows uncanny knowledge in certain areas, such as the names of Brad and Angelina's kids or the price of designer handbags.

Bob: You see that chick I was talking to - she's smoking hot, but . . .
Ed: But what?
Bob: She thought Dick Cheney was a sort of necklace you wear on your pecker.
Ed: Total 9 to 5. You gonna try to bone her anyway?
Bob: Fuck yeah - I'm gonna show her my Dick Cheney!

9 to 5 - slang

A sub category of pornography, in which a hot 9 is standing next to a plain 5. The plain looks of the 5 allows the 9 to transcend the barrier of being a 9 and attain the perfection of being a 10.

This new 9 to 5 porn has really helped employ a lot of mildly attractive people in the porn industry.

9 to 5

a job (hours don't have to be 9 to 5).

You work a 9 to 5. You can't get a "hand 9 to 5" or "blow 9 to 5" or "rim 9 to 5". That's just dumb if you say that.
