When somebody tells you they’ll make it worth your while, which “while” do they mean?
Is that like a done-while-you-wait kinda while or is it a once in a while, a while ago, or a while you wasn’t looking?
Chances are it’s not a just a chance less lucrative but certainly less morally ambivalent thing you might have been doing “while” you were doing whatever they asked you to do.
But who has time for all that?
