scooper's elbow

noun. The number one health hazard of the pooper scooper troopers of America.

Real citation: "If he has any complaints about his chosen career, it's what he calls "scooper's elbow." When it rains, he explains, the poop gets saturated with water and becomes heavy."
(Sam Boykin, "The sweet stink of success," Salon, salon.com/mwt/feature/2006/01/18/pooper_scoopers/print.html)

Made-up citation: "The student asked the Zen master, 'Do proctologists develop scooper's elbow?' The Zen master merely smiled while filling his pants. At this, the student was enlightened."
