or tenyear or whatever the americans call it, ive heard it a few times on tv, they talk about gaining tenyear or tenya or whatever and being set for life and all that crap

 

what is it, what does it mean and how do you spell it lol

Only thing I can think of, which bares no resemblance to the above is Tenaya Lake which is in California. I think it's in Yosemite National Park.

Tenure commonly refers to life tenure in a job, and specifically to a senior academic's contractual right not to be fired without cause.

i heard it on friends first, ross said he got tenya and he has job security for life

 

then i heard it on the simpsons, otto said he nearly got tenya at college

 

also heard it on a few intellectual films lol
