hand career
A hand job that goes on too long.
ex) After 15 minutes, the hand job turned into a hand career.

What does this mean? I don't understand at all.

Two things. One, do you know what a hand job is? Two, why do you waste your time browsing the Urban Dictionary?


P.S. Say:

I don't understand it

Or:

I don't understand it at all.

It seems that Urban Dictionary is full of sexual expressions not that useful. Could you recommend a good website for useful idioms and slang?

I'll leave it to you to figure out the sexual reference in 'hand job' (check the link within urban dictionary), but the idea here is a play on words between 'job' and 'career'.

It plays upon the exaggerated length - this job is taking so long it has become a career (i.e. something long-term versus something short).

I suppose you could also read into it overtones of professionalism, etc., for it to become a 'career'.
