(US, informal) unemployment benefit.
- rocking-chair money64%
An American informal expression for unemployment benefits — the idea being that if you're collecting it, you might as well be sitting in a rocking chair doing nothing. It's a mildly sardonic phrase that implies the recipient is idle, though with more humor than judgment. The image evokes a slow, passive life waiting for checks rather than hustling. Popular enough in mid-20th century American vernacular but not widely used today.
