From McEgg to McJob

Merriam-Webster's ultimate slap in the face definition for a "low-paying job that requires little skill and provides little opportunity for advancement" is a slap to the folks at McDonald's (whose new tag line is ironically - I'm loving it! - yes, ignorance it seems is bliss...)

In a Malaysian sense, not exclusively mind you, we can probably use the term "government servant"...

The fast-food giant's chief executive, Jim Cantalupo, called the definition a "slap in the face" to the 12 million people who work in the restaurant industry, and demanded that Merriam-Webster dish up something more flattering. Well we could always call them "Ronalds"...
