文法句型
locker room + noun
用法筆記
This sense is used only before a noun (attributive position) — typically with words like 'jokes', 'banter', 'humor', 'humour', or 'talk'. It cannot stand alone as a noun (e.g. 'The conversation was locker room' is incorrect). The term often carries a negative or critical tone, especially when discussing workplace culture.
