Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "tah" (as in "tar") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "chahs" (as in "chat")/

Meaning

Heavy-duty work, manual labor, or household chores that require physical effort and that nobody wants to do. It's the unglamorous grunt work that just needs to get done.

Examples

I'm stuck doing manual labor at the workshop all day Saturday.
