How it's used
This term vividly describes someone or something that is like a stubborn, lingering bowel movement that refuses to pass, hence the graphic imagery. It is used to label people who are perpetually needy, incompetent, or prone to creating endless small problems that drag on. While highly expressive, it is considered quite informal and slightly crude, so avoid using it in professional settings or with people you do not know well.
Examples
This business deal is such a pain, it's really stressing me out.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe a physical medical condition, as it is strictly used as a metaphor for people or situations that are annoying or difficult to deal with.
