: I know what it means but was wondering if anyone knows where the phrase I don't know, but if you've ever seen pictures of Indian workers in some of the centuries-old salt mines, I think you would agree that it's an apt term for work that is very, very hard and (given that salt isn't expensive) very poorly paid.
