I absolutely fucking hate this turn of phrase?

Do you mean part time job? Say that then.

Do you mean "being self employed"? Why not say that like a grown up?

I just hate it, I don't know if it's meant to sound cute or faux "street" or what. Never heard of a man with a "side hustle"

I have a 'proper job' with a regular income. But I refer to my secondary job as a side hustle as it's more like a hobby that pays. I do it a few evenings a week and it makes me a bit of money that I see as a bonus. I don't see it as a part-time job possibility because I enjoy it!

I loathe the term 'side hustle'! And I have one that I do all my side my full time job, I just call it my business like normal people.

See 'Girl Boss', 'Boss Woman', 'Boss babe' (🤮), 'SheEO', 'She shed', 'Mompreneur'. Gross.

Men have "hobbles", "foreigners", and various other words, depending what part of the country you live on.

It means it's not regular enough to be a job

To me, side hustle carries the implication that it's something you're doing in your spare time alongside your main job that might over time develop into a self-employed job to replace your current one.

Agree - its a second job right? So just say my second/other job??

It's usually selling shit make-up to your mates isn't it? Domain of the "girl boss".
