McJob

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-McJob.wav

From Mc- + job, entry-level jobs at McDonald's restaurants being considered to be this sort of job.

What are you going to do this summer? –I'm going to find a McJob for the evenings and hang out at the beach during the day.

Many politicos claim most new jobs are low-pay, dead-enders, “McJobs.”

1987 March 9, Steve Forbes, “Major problem with the American economy: hypochondria”, in Forbes, 139, p33:

Shortly after the opening of the Latham McDonald’s, the first in the Capital District, Zdunek, then 16, hopped on his Cushman motor scooter, rode from his Halfmoon home and applied for his first Mcjob. The wage was $1.25 an hour.

1989 October 19, Paul Grondahl, “Managers get behind the grill”, in Albany Times Union, page C1:

The car was the color of butter and bore a bumper sticker saying WE’RE SPENDING OUR CHILDREN’S INHERITANCE, a message that I suppose irked Dag, who was bored and cranky after eight hours of working his McJob (“Low pay, low prestige, low benefits, low future”).

1991, Douglas Coupland, Generation X, New York: St. Martin's Press, →OCLC, page 5:

(colloquial, sometimes derogatory) A typically entry-level job, often part-time or temporary, generally paying low wages and requiring minimal training, such as entry-level positions at fast-food restaurants.

1996, Joan M. Drury, Silent Words, Spinsters Ink, page 36:

“Darling,” Janelle is standing on the outskirts of the group, listening with amusement, “just because a man has filet mignon at home, doesn't mean he doesn't fancy a McDonald's every now and then.”

Mickey D's

For those five days each month when we've been hormonally hijacked, there are women's health clinics to be defended, underpaid amigas at Mickey D's to be organized, and redwood trees to be protected.

2001, Susan Jane Gilman, Kiss My Tiara: How to Rule the World as a SmartMouth Goddess, page 42:

He looked around. This place wasn't exactly Mickey D's, but it was sure a lot better than some of the places he'd been eating in lately.

McDonaldization

From McDonald's + -ization. Popularized by American sociologist George Ritzer in his 1993 book The McDonaldization of Society, based on an essay of the same title he published in 1983.

Almost all social institutions (for example, education, sports, politics, and religion) were adapting McDonald's principles to their operations. And McDonaldization was spreading around the world—fast-food croissanteries in Paris (of all places), Kentucky Fried Chicken in Beijing, McDonald’s in Beijing and Moscow.

1996, George Ritzer, “Preface to the First Edition”, in The McDonaldization of Society […] , revised edition, Thousand Oaks, Calif.: Pine Forge Press, →ISBN, page xviii:

Big Mac

big and the patronymic Mac (from the Mc in McDonald's).

On his thirtieth birthday Buddy Barnes received a reindeer sweater and a ten-dollar bill from his mom, as well as the following gifts from the Sticks: two Big Mac certificates, a package of ribbed prophylactics, three pairs of toe socks, a bottle of Wild Turkey, [...].

1980, Tom Lorenz, Guys Like Us, Viking Press, page 1:

In a light-hearted vein, the weekly news magazine The Economist has tested the PPP index by producing its own Big Mac index. This shows how much a standardized product such as a Big Mac costs in different countries and the result is actually surprisingly close to the PPP index.

2001, Bjørn Lomborg, The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World, Cambridge University Press, page 73:

I've heard my patients talk about exercising to "burn off the Big Mac" they ate for lunch or for that key lime pie they demolished last night. However, this type of reasoning isn't all that compelling if you sit down and work out the math. You must walk more than 6 miles—well over an hour—to burn off a Big Mac.

2003, Arthur Agatston, The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Management, Rodale, page 144:

But when he comes back, he'll come home from work with a poisoned Big Mac and try to do me in.

Originally a transcription of English MacDonnell (McDonnell) in Cantonese for MacDonnell Road in Hong Kong. It was re-used to transcript English McDonald's/McDonald by McDonald's Hong Kong managing director Daniel Ng in the late 1970s or early 1980s, purposely chosen due to the existing familiarity of the road. Before, only the English name was present in official signage. A more direct transcription, 麥當奴 /麦当奴 (mak6 dong1 nou4), was proposed, but the derogatory connotation of 奴 (nú, “slave”) led to it being replaced with 勞 /劳 (literally “work”).

More than twenty thousand participants have earned the bachelor of hamburgerology degree, with its golden arches appearing at the bottom of the certificate.

1985, Stan Luxenberg, Roadside empires: how the chains franchised America:

Life magazine and the CBS Evening News took note. So did academics, appalled at the idea of a degree in Hamburgerology. But Kroc's university flourished, moving into a $40 million facility […]

However, while passing tips on about making a TV programme may have something in common with hamburgerology, finally these are quite dissimilar businesses.

There's also an area called Park Hill, which was once an exclusive apartment complex, until Ella Fitzgerald bought it in the mid to late 70's and turned it into your typical nigger housing projects. This particular area is the only area I know of, (after nigger fuxation) where the local "McNiggers" shut down due to excessive armed robberies. Go figure.

2003 September 15, Steve Cipoletti, “2nd White racial attack on black in S.I>”, in nyc.general (Usenet):

Transsexual Pummeled At McNiggers Speaks Out
First of all let me say that Irate does not approve of a transsexual lifestyle. But no one, be it a he/she/or it deserves to be beaten like a rented mule like this person was at the hands of a pair of feral retarded nigger boons. What pisses me off most about this travesty is the fact that the nigger employees did nothing, absolutely nothing to stop the attack. Only an elderly white woman stepped in to help this victim. If I was this person I would sue McNigger’s ass off. I will tell you this, it will be a long long time before Irate darkens the door step of a McNiggers, if I ever do again. I have had it with their nigger loving crap. They can take their 365Black and shove it up their Big Mac.

2011 April 26, True Blue, “The Obamas Silent in the Face of Race Atrocity”, in alt.politics.radical-left (Usenet):

McNiggers hired a cashier, Rayon McIntosh, 31, who just got out of Nigger
University on an aggravated manslaughter coonviction for shooting and
killing a high school classmate in 2000. [Ed. Note: Good going McNiggers! I
assume that hiring violent nigger felons in your stores is just an extension
of your "nigger 365" program: CLICK HERE .]

2011 October 16, True Blue, “OT: 'McDonald's Family Restaurant - I'm loving it' (again) VIDEO”, in uk.politics.misc (Usenet):

The restaurant chain famous for chimpouts, bad food and niggers is now
using graffiti themed decor.

2016 October 13, Dave Norris, “McNiggers goes totally ghetto”, in soc.culture.african.american (Usenet):

It's bad enough that the shit-beast flock to Mcniggers but the
Mcnigger's corparation goes out into the nigger hood and recruits the
cannibal bastards to work there with out prior back ground screening as
in criminal history checks. Which is why I refuse to go any where
around Mcniggers.

2019 April 11, Robert Wolfe, “McNigger's just celebrated their 1 billionth nigger chimpout”, in soc.culture.african.american (Usenet):

McD

Executive staff members take themselves very seriously at McD. This is a war, not a game. Yet they also know how to enjoy themselves and have fun. They realize that as serious as a situation may be, McD will overcome it, just as it has overcome all the nasty, unfounded rumors of worms in McD burgers and other innuendos over the years.

1994, Charles Bernstein, Ron Paul, “Leader of the Pack: The Big Mac”, in Winning the Chain Restaurant Game: Eight Key Strategies, New York, N.Y.: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., →ISBN, page 240:

I went to McD for lunch with Jen Nee and Sunny. Cheeseburgers only 88c.

2005, Ee Lin See, “Chicken Pox!”, in My Kiasu Teenage Life in Singapore, Singapore: Monsoon Books, published 2011, →ISBN:

This time, I upgraded the standards and we went to McD. As we entered the place, it was crowded as usual. I went up to the counter to place an order and used my Food Panda passes which allowed me to have an extra burger and a coke at the purchase of Rs. 100.
