    Having funemployment implies that you have funlimited funds to piss your day away at the beach wearing earbuds, or hanging out in SF cafés with your fungodly friends.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I must now go pluck my funibrow..

    Funemployment can also lead to Fivorce and a Faddiction to Fugs.

    "1. funemployed

    The state of being without a job, yet having lots of time to enjoy fun activities during otherwise normal working hours."

    Nowhere does this mention actually having money whilst being unemployed.

    Wait until their funemployment checks dry up--then we'll see who's wearing a trench coat and fedora in a bread line.

    "Fun-employed" is what my dominatrix has always purported to be. She's a cruel mistress, but fair -- and self-actualized.

    Is "funemployed" the new "staycation?" Because if so, I need to start working on recession-appropriate puns in the hopes that they will be adopted by national media, thus I will no longer be funsure of how to pay my rent.

    @hilikusopus: i find it funny that they chose to show footage from 70 years ago to highlight that phrase, completely ignoring the fact that they could easily find current lines of unemployed, sad fucks to film. but i guess that wouldn't really fit the completely oblivious and odious tone that they were going for with this piece of "journalism".

    @southernbitch: Yeah, black & white stock footage fits the bill. It's kind of nostalgic, but at the same time you know this isn't your grandpa's unemployment we're talking about here. It's funemployment!

    "In general the funemployed are young and single." Don't forget white and wealthy. That's pretty key here.
