jobsworth Noun. A person who is very pedantic at work and strictly adheres to the rules; named after the oft heard, "I can't let you do that, it's more than my jobs worth." Derog.

Jobsworth could be the word good old JessCC is looking for there in Malaysia. Jess, I sure hope you'll let us know whether jobsworth was the word in question, puh-lease!

However, I found jobsworth in only one reference on OneLook--and it was in a listing of British terms of slang.

Mebbe there isn't a 9-letter word in general reference lexicons that means what myridon means. 'Course we could always start dropping jobsworth everywhere we can think of and try to institute it into the language in other-than-British nations. Jobsworth. Looks good.
