  This and some of the others you've added to this page look dubious. The article isn't claiming this is used, it says "the tabloid [i.e. The Sun] suggested should find its way into the Oxford English Dictionary." Can you find any usage of watching badgers meaning to have sex with a stranger or to have sex in a public place? Mglovesfun (talk) 17:09, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

• work day, non-existent entry
• workshare (noun) -- appears to be a widely used term to describe European government funding arrangements where work, especially for military and space projects, are shared in some manner across national European country boundaries based on some non-market criteria of the "work" being contracted to occur, in the main, within national boundaries in some sort of share commensurate with that countries "contribution" to the particular agency or project. I don't fully understand the concept; but it appears to be widely used in various sources, especially those that describe the ESA and EU funding. It can also be seen in several Wikipedia articles, but appears to never be defined. One good reliable source to illustrate the concept is [27], but I'll add the quotation in hidden text since Aviation Week articles often quickly dissapear behind a paywall. Cheers.
