Significado de "Like pulling teeth"

Inglés

Something that is extremely difficult. Perhaps even difficult to 'extract' like information or action from someone. A boss might say "Trying to get an answer around here is like pulling teeth". Meaning then it a very difficult to get a reply from any workers. The expression can apply to any given situation. Kids not cleaning up their room...like pulling teeth.
Literally pulling (extracting) teeth is very difficult and brutal. They were meant to stay in and they do a good job doing so.
