#13 Plum Job
This is quite a British phrase and its origins also come from the UK and in particular from British politics. In the 1600s a politician was generally given �1000 for a particular role in government and the slang term for that amount of money was a plum. It was a lot of cash back then and it became known as a plum job as everybody wanted it.
