If you try a Google search for "such a schlep" you'll find plenty of cases in which the meaning has expanded to an arduous task in general.
"If you are one of those people who has always wanted DSTV, but never actually got down to installing it because it seems like such a schlep..."
"The first time I minced my own meat but it was such a schlep..."
"I'm getting all my books from Diesel e books and i just find it such a schlep to remove the drm's."
- rquantz 15y agoI stand corrected.
- 6ren 15y agoI'd also only heard it used specific to a journey, but just found this definition (the second group, from Collins http://www.thefreedictionary.com/schlep http://www.thefreedictionary.com/schlep) includes: 2. an arduous journey or procedure I feel there's a connotation of unnecessariness to the difficulty ("clumsiness" in the literal meaning is similar; that it shouldn't be there). e.g. climbing Mt. Everest is "an arduous journey" - but I don't think it's a "schlep". Unnecessary difficulty is just the thing for a startup to target. Suffer that tedium so your customers don't have to.
