'assholes and elbows' refers to working hard at a task. It originated in farm work. If a group of field hands is busy and bent over picking crops, then a supervisor looking out over the group would see nothing but "assholes and elbows".
A derivative term with the same origin and meaning is head down, butt up.

Row boss to field hands: Alright that's enough chit-chat and coffee break! It's time to get back to work and I don't want to see nothing but assholes and elbows until this field is picked clean.

Get the elboob mug.The most amazing guy in the world. The sweetest guy you'll ever meet. You can't help but smile when you think of him. He's unreplaceable. He gives the best hugs in the world. Sometimes you might question if he's sincere when he tells you that you're special or when he says I love you, but once you're with him he'll show you what he means. If you're lucky enough to get a guy named Eliot, don't lose him... he's irreplaceable
