From the movie [To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Wong_Foo,_Thanks_for_Everything!_Julie_Newmar)

In a drag queen context, when the winners are announced, the host said to them

> 
> Work the runway. Work it! Tempus fugit, diva women!
> 
> 
> 

It doesn't seem to be idiomatic. Is it slang language?
