This is somewhat of a dictionary definition (sort of). I doubt this correct, anyway. Is this a very early draft, or did you intend for the entry to be this short? FMephit 22:16, 8 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Other varying definitions

edit

All of the varied forms plus more seem to be accurate descriptions of the Weekend Warrior

  • I found a description that in the athletic context as being soley working out on the weekend
  • I found that the reservist definition applied to the US as well.
  • I found the definition for someone who does big projects on the weekend

Expansions of each type

edit

I think for each type of weekend warrior there should be a discussion of why it is signigicant ect..

  • For the athletic weekend warrior health debate
  • For reservists similar applications from the worker context
  • For the party weekend warrior there are health and social consequences

Pejorative conotation

edit

Weekend warrior is almost always a negative term used by people more involved in activities to shame or insult those less involved. I don't know where to get sources for that,, but it seems this article should at least make reference to that fact. 68.120.224.128 (talk) 06:57, 25 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I've never heard it used in a pejorative context. I disagree with adding this statement unless citation from a reliable source is possible. --Jehan60188 (talk)
