heh, it's a slang word, what means, it's not used in formal language, but only by people of the same social group, interest or occupation.

k, u prolly know, but 4 those who dont, "mcjob" mean a low-paying, not prestigious job. the term came from Mcdonald's employees, saying that they do a contingent work.

Verdict: Merriam-Webster victory.

The David and Goliath legal battle took place during 2003, in which Merriam-Webster's dictionary wished to include the word 'Mcjob' (in reference to McDonald's) with the definition:

"A job that requires little skill, and provides little pay or opportunity for advancement."

McDonald's Mclawyers quickly made a case of it, but Merriam-Webster refused to be cowed. After 2 weeks in court, McDonald's backed down, and the word was added to their newest dictionary. Seriously, look it up, it's in any Merriam-Webster dictionary after 2003.

McJob. McDonalds Corporation recently threw a fit over the fact that Mirriam-Webster admitted the term "McJob" into the latest edition of their dictionary as a term meaning "a form of low-paying, short-term drudgework available to the unskilled". McDonalds swears that this terminology is unfairly denigratory to the tiny percentage of their associates who actually have jobs worth keeping and has demanded that the word be removed. A company named McJobs—that places the nearly unemployable in unskilled positions—has also filed suit, claiming that entering the name of their company in a dictionary entry unfairly dilutes their trademark. Note that McJobs®—the company—doesn't particularly dispute the definition.
