Talk:between a rock and a hard place

Word or Quotation
I think this many words strung together is a Quotation not a "Word"! WritersCramp 20:18, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Who claimed it was a word? —Stephen 20:32, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, it is called Wiktionary, not Wikiquotes. In addition, the definition recognizes it as an adverb. WritersCramp 12:05, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It is an adverb. Also an idiom or phrase. I don’t know why it would be included in Wikiquotes, since it isn’t a quote per se, but it certainly belongs here on Wiktionary. —Stephen 15:39, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Rfv-sense 1: "bankrupt". PUC – 16:42, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

RFV-failed. Although a number of texts seem to indicate that this phrase was first used to describe bankruptcy, I can find no usage examples to support this as a specific meaning. Kiwima (talk) 21:40, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
