uphill

A humorous slang term for "picking the nose", derived from the Indonesian word "upil" which has the same meaning.

During the meeting, I caught him going uphill when he thought no one was watching—classic!

uphill dish washing

A difficult task to perform. A task that requires a great deal of effort to complete, reaching near impossibility.

I want to convince my brother to switch back to PC, but his old XP box froze all the time. His iMac has never had any problems. Convincing him would be a real uphill dish washing.
