Catchword: lunchpail levy

Filed Under: Language, English, Subject, Law, Money & Finance

Part of Speech: n.

Quotation: Instead of using silly euphemisms that sound like something off a Wal-Mart flip-chart, highway officials ought to call this what it really is: a Lunchpail Levy. Apparently it’s escaped the notice of the traffic “experts” that “value pricing” rewards those with flexible hours and punishes those with inflexible schedules. Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but the workers with the least flexibility tend to be concentrated toward the bottom of the wage scale.
