talk about work · discuss business
What's the situation?
Ever been at a social gathering, like a party or a casual dinner, and suddenly found yourself deep in conversation about spreadsheets, client meetings, or project deadlines? 😬 That's exactly what 'to talk shop' means! It's when you and your colleagues (or anyone else in the same field) end up discussing work-related topics outside of work hours. It's super common, but sometimes you just want a break from it all!
