/Sounds like "EHN" (as in "egg") + "treh" (as in "tread") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "ehs" (as in "egg") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "dah" (as in "dart") + "EE" (as in "eagle") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "pah" (as in "park") + "REHD" (as in "red")/
To be caught between a rock and a hard place, stuck in a situation where every option leads to a bad outcome. A medieval expression rooted in sword dueling, where stepping back against a wall is just as deadly as facing the blade head-on.
“I am caught between a rock and a hard place with this problem.”
“They put him between a rock and a hard place with that ultimatum.”
