Editing Jobsworth (section)

==Examples==
An example of the phrase in its original context can be found in the 1965 [[Beatles]] movie ''[[Help! (film)|Help!]]'', when [[Roy Kinnear]]'s character, the assistant scientist  Algernon, exclaims, "Well it's more than my job's worth to stop him when he's like this; he's out to rule the world...if he can get a government grant."

An example of the term in its fully formed metaphorical use was by UK [[Folk music|folk]]-singer [[Jeremy Taylor (singer)|Jeremy Taylor]] in a song he wrote in the late 1960s:
{{poemquote
|text=Jobsworth, Jobsworth, It's more than me job's worth,
I don't care, rain or snow,
whatever you want the answer's no,
I can keep you waiting for hours in the queue,
and if you don't like it you know what you can do.}}
