Is it "hand job" or "handjob"?

    In that example, it should have been first-hand or firsthand. When multiple words are used together as an adjective, in this case an adjective-noun pair, those two should become hyphenated. I just wrote another example -- it's 'adjective-noun' because the two words are used as an adjective for pair, even though they would not ordinarily be hyphenated.

    For the same reason, asking "is it 'first hand' or 'first-hand'" would be meaningless, because it depends on the context, unless a stylistic choice is made to write 'firsthand' instead

    It's the only job opportunity the clankers haven't taken from us yet.

    That's actually one of the first things they took from us. Auto strokers that sync to specific videos exist, and if you throw vr into the mix you basically end up like that guy Jordan peterson posted about.

    I remember my first handjob mentoring day. They sent out a blast email for all the students to bring their own lube and I remember Jackie brought in a quart of Valvoline motor oil. 🤣

    Oxford commas, people.

    Also hyphens will work.
