Shit Labor

The pain or discomfort often associated with the onset and delivery of a large grade bowel movement. Pain or discomfort may be mild and slightly irritating to severe and downright unbearable.

Emotional Labor

A feminist notion that emotions are somehow hard work, and that they should be financially compensated for them. Men don't seem to have a problem being nice to people, and are rightfully perplexed when women use this term.

Given the amount of emotions a normal woman has every few minutes, about virtually everything, emotional labor seems to be an oxymoron.
