4. a) People churner- although I have to confess that I have never heard of any of the expressions mentioned in this question. To churn means to have a high turnover. 5. a) A pink collar job. A Blue collar job is traditionally done by low skilled males (eg factory worker) and a white collar job is traditionally done by educated professional males ( eg office worker). There is now even a green coller job which refers to environmental or agricultural jobs. 6 d) Dogsbody.
