Commuter Coma Edit Meaning

1.

Derived from the German compound noun "Nahverkehrskoma" describing the state of the hangover guys you see in the commuter train on their way to work on Friday mornings: Blood shot eyes, stubble on their cheeks, bad breath and too much grease in their hair - but a tie around their neck (the unmistakable sign of being hanged for money every fucking day in the office, for which they have to compensate in the pub).

Boss: "I've heard there was another train failure on the DART line this morning."

Employee says: "I know, it's outrageous! It costs our economy millions every week!"

Employee thinks: Thank god I was in a commuter coma anyway, extending my sleep instead of making this fat bastard even richer.

Boss thinks: Is this slacker smelling of booze or what?
