Schlep?

I have lived 22 years with my parents and have never heard them use the word "schlep" before. In fact, I don't think I've heard ANYONE use the word before.

My parents have each used it independently of each other 4 times in the past 4 days. What is this madness? Is this word even real?

Well according to thefreedictionary.com, to "schlep" something is "to carry clumsily or with difficulty." So it is apparently a real thing. I just don't understand how I've gone so long without hearing it.
You rightly imagine that I'll be using it a LOT from now on.
