hair shirt 

a garment to induce some degree of discomfort or pain as a sign of repentance and atonement

My brother sinner, even though I completely understand your need for purgation, there isn't a man among us with half a conscience who doesn't keep a hair shirt as a permanent part of his wardrobe.

hair shirt 

When a hairy guy shaves his upper arms right below the cuff of a short-sleaved shirt. When the shirt is removed, his hair resembles a hair shirt.

'You're swimming with your shirt on?'

'That's my hair shirt asshole!'

hairshirting 

The shallow regimen of feigned, token suffering and "paying your dues" that is disgracefully required of already perfectly-talented newcomers by petty, candle-snuffing incumbents who control some particular bottleneck industry.

The term derives from the arcane, masochistic practice of wearing of an incredibly itchy and uncomfortable shirt woven out of human hair, all in the cause of feigning one's humility and penitence for the benefit of some petty religious rulership.

"Yeah, I could've been published years earlier, but none of the agents and publishers would allow it until I went through their life-crushing, byzantine gauntlet of ass-kissing and hairshirting."

hairshirt 

when sleeping next to a guy and he is so hairy that you think he's wearing a shirt, but its really just his chest hair that you're feeling.

"After seeing his hairshirt I was totally turned off"
"I bet his hairshirt comes in handy during the winter months"
