What is Nine To Five?
1.
Its used as a verb. It is what you actually do when you get to work. Many jobs have fancy names like Assistant executive vice-president to the blind foundation of excellence, but people dont know what that means, so you ask them, "whats your nine to five?" and they tell you if they sit at a desk, or do they write papers? are they walking around supervising people? what does the person actually do all day, the actual 9am to 5pm shift, what are they doing specifically?
"whats your "nine to five?"

Also used in the Ramones song "It's Not My Place" on the Pleasant Dreams album
My mom and dad are always fighting
And it's getting very unexciting
To get a good job
You need a proper schooling
Now who the hell
Do ya think you're fooling
But it's not my place oh no
No it's not my place no no
No it's not my not my not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place
with 9 to 5 girl
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world

Used in ramones song "we want the airwaves"
9 to 5 and 5 to 9 ain't gonna take it
It's our time we want the world
And we want it now we're gonna take it, anyhow
We want the airwaves We want the airwaves We want
the airwaves, baby if rock is gonna stay alive
Oh yeah-well all right let's rock-tonite all night
Where's your guts and will to survive
And don't you wanna keep rock
