Now can buy the best simple painkiller ive ever used without having to deal with the illegality and concerns that come with black market buying.

Not in this case but of course there could be multiple uses. 
this is from my days working a the employment service (dole office/job centre). Subsidiary Occupation was a term for those who were claiming but had occasional part time work 

That's such a gripping tale you could be mistaken for an accountant.

Of course not.

 

Because it's a naval term for anything that brings you good fortune, dating from the days when it was better to have wild and dangerous sea beasties in the vessel being tamed than outside attacking it.

 

Sub occ, of course, refers to the submarine octopus. To this day, no naval vessel goes to sea without a cephalopod on board.

 

In fact, in 1973 during a conflict off the coast of Guam, the captain of USS Typhon was replaced by Terry the Octopus on mental capacity grounds - becoming the first sub cap occ.

 

Sub occ, ladies and gentlemen.

phew.. now i know where my delivery has gone

Occasionally a term I’ve used in a previous job pops into my head and I wonder if anyone else would know what it means/have worked in same space 

 

thought about starting a thread for a bit of fun but thought better of it. 

anyway the term today was sub-occ if anyone wants to guess 

In the world of football and especially Steve Cooper

I like the cut of your jib but you should be keel-hauled for that.
