  • His name was Derek. But he went by ‘the Prophet’ when times were good, or ‘the Law Giver’ when times were bad.

    I moved onto his prayer farm with 45 other members of the Salvation Star Boys, who died in a mass suicide. But not me. 'Cause I don’t like root beer. And I only drink what I like.

    After it was all over, I called Lois to pick me up. She was mad. But she’s what Derek calls an Oppressing Doubter.

    May the light of Derek’s Invincible Diamond shine through you.

    There are actually more distinct meanings than I initially thought, but yeah most of them are prepositions

    • To work up (an appetite, an argument)
    • To work down (a screw, or something grinding)
    • To work for (prep: an employer, some hierarchy)
    • To work in (prep: an office, a space)
    • To work on (prep: a project)
    • To work with (prep: a person)

    How very German of you.

    I understand your point in the context of “switch on” and “switch off”, but the base verb “work” doesn’t have many separable prefix/suffixes.

    To work in? To work on (same as work)? To work about (does that mean anything)?
