    a pink slip would be feminine underwear :)

      Sure, but why would they think their boss would give them that kind of pink slip?

        it’s likely that they didn’t actually believe that, given the very explicit image and explanation. They were almost certainly just being humorous because of the dual nature of the word.

        Because it’s a roundabout form of humor it might not be accessible to everyone.
