Work your butt off

I read a passage written by someone in his writing class.
1. What does it mean by “Work your butt off”?
2. Is the underlined sentence acceptable?

Work your butt off. There are no short cuts to hard work. Success is a byproduct of that. You can only control what you control and that means you’ve got to work harder than anyone else you know.
