9-5
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.

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.
Example:
"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."

Example:
"He never felt right
holding down a 9-5 it made
the ends meet but it never made him feel
alive"

Mythical hours that
hardly anybody works anymore. Some might still work 8 hours, but they're mostly not 9-5.

9-5 hair
by MRE Chicago on May 18, 2010 07:30:55
Hair which is usually shoulder length and natural colored with little to
no style, making it easy to
do in the morning for the gal
on the go...very low maintainance.
Example:
Nina: "Man, you'd think that girl could wear something other than those black
dress pants and out of style
Steve Madden shoes"
Maggie: "Not to mention her 9-5 hair."
Nina : "Corperate America sure is a bitch."

9 to 5

Example:
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.
