Work that has an immediate deadline and cannot be avoided or delayed. As opposed to work that can be put off for a little while or put down to grab a coffee, go for a walk or check out Chuck Norris' website.

I sprained my wrist doing grunt work last night.
My wife was out of town last weekend, so I got stuck doing grunt work.
I've been doing grunt work since I was nine years old.

working poverty: a phrase of which every half or decent human being should feel a flash of shame when uttering out loud mostly because it's unnecessary and almost everybody knows this.
Also it tells us that, while people are working they are still "poor" (there are many definitions or feelings concerning the word poor but in this context it can be read as "f***ed" or "scr##ed" or even opportunity, you define it, get creative) some people have very funny ideas on what winning means, i'm sure they read the expression "throphy kids" as if it's a bad thing. (see egg thief for further and broader definition)

"can i lend some money? i thought you we're working? i do and i am, i'm working poverty."
"50-60 hours a week, that should do it, right? Not! Working poverty."
"working poverty, opportunity, bring the coupons."
"surplus-coupons-working poverty-long expiration date-opportunity-stack for winter bro!"
"Foodbank!"

A phrase uttered by someone to a coworker at the point when office drama, client bullshit and other things which should really have no impact on ones life moves from a point of concern to the point of amusement.
Worker: My client is an imbecile. Why did we sell this dumb deal - jeez, I want to get out of here today.
