Landing Zone. Originally came into use during the Vietnam War to address the area where a helicopter would be a landing. A "hot LZ" is a zone in which charlie still had a significant presence, and thus was dangerous to land in.
Since Vietnam, the term has come into the modern vernacular to mean any bad, rough, or uncomfortable situation.
