Wrestling? Just curious, what’s the connection? — other than getting Pelosi in a headlock and making her eat the 1000 ‘stimulus’ bill page by page? ;-)
In professional wrestling slang, the term job describes a losing performance in a wrestling match.[1] It is derived from the euphemism "doing one's job", which was employed to protect kayfabe. As professional wrestling is scripted, inevitably a wrestler will be required to lose to an opponent.[2]
The term can be used a number of ways. When a wrestler is booked, or scripted, to lose a match it is described as "a job." The act itself is described with the verb jobbing. To lose a match fairly is to job cleanly.[2] A loss through outside interference, cheating, or a reversed decision is called a screwjob. Wrestlers who routinely lose matches are known as jobbers.
