How does xy work?

A phrase that questions something really simple and has an obvious answer to it, but can become very confusing if the one asking the question knows how to confuse. It can be used to keep up conversations.
It was found on the questions tab of bill wurtz's website

Here's a question that has been haunting me: How the hell does salad work? / How does a backpack actually work? / How does xy work?

crazy work

You say something is, "crazy work" when you have to go out of your way for it. AKA, bending over backwards for something or someone. AKA, doing the most.

Crazy work that I gotta go to your job to see you!!
