  • 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)

    misogynoir

    I’m trying to work what kind of film genre that would be.

    Probably a mix between 1950s film noir (read: well-dressed white men in fedoras slapping hysterical dames) and 1970s blaxploitation film (read: well-dressed black pimps in capes slapping back-talking street workers).

    The fusion of tropes probably means that the women depicted are either given cartoonish-level plot armour to endure the abuse, or, more darkly, never make it past the first scene.
