A phrase used to describe something that:
A) should be incredibly simple, but is instead quite complicated
B) should be easy, but instead requires immense effort
C) seems like it should take only a short while to accomplish, but instead takes exponentially longer than expected
The phrase appears to have originated from a conversation between an engineer and his sister early in 2024. The story goes that in describing his day, he was explaining a conveyor belt that he was designing. Intending to use “like” as a filler word, he said, “It’s just, like, moving bags of lettuce! It shouldn’t be so hard!” His sister, thinking he was using some new expression she had never heard, asked him to explain what he meant by, “like moving bags of lettuce.” Thus the expression was born.

My work was terribly difficult today. I felt like I was moving bags of lettuce.
Changing that tire was like moving bags of lettuce. It took three hours longer than I thought it would have.

Get the Cunt bag mug.A high-tech variation of the classic teabag. The act of surprising a viewer of a Web Cam by slowly lowering and raising your nuts into the top of the view of the camera.
When Nicky and Cole were Web chatting, Cole directed Nicky's attention to his new poster in his room and disappeared from view. As Nicky was checking out the poster, Cole snuck behind his laptop, stradled it without being seen, and began lowering and raising his nuts into the top of the camera view... I.T. Bagging Nicky.
