Talk:job

RFV discussion
Rfv-sense: To work. I think the translators have been seriously misled by this def. DCDuring TALK 11:52, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that it doesn't mean to work in general and can't be translated into French as travailler. Should we have "job" as an alternative spelling of jab?    D b f  i  r  s   17:28, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

a job for
I just asked a fellow editor "might this be a job for 'typically'?" (as a qualifier of another label). On Google Books, I see "looks like a job for a philosopher", "this looks like a job for embroidery", "The outer walls are still standing. The two vehicles in front of the building are intact. Looks like a job for forensics." Which sense of job is this? Is it sense 1, "task" (which covers it, I suppose), or something more? - -sche (discuss) 14:55, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'd say "task", similar to the Swedish phrase "ett jobb för". Wakuran (talk) 02:32, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

police
Used in the police force, at least in England, to mean ‘police’ when talking to other officers. Heard on the TV series The Bay S3E5 01:33 in: “I’m job, D.S Townsend. I have to report a missing person”. Overlordnat1 (talk) 21:07, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I’ve now created a citations page and added a quote. Overlordnat1 (talk) 01:51, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Responded at Tea_room/2022/February. 70.172.194.25 21:56, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I’ll create an slightly fudged entry (‘the police as a profession, or an individual police officer’) using GoogleBooks, the Partridge quotes and the TV episode when I have the time. Overlordnat1 (talk) 22:04, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. Overlordnat1 (talk) 23:44, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
