in der Wolle gefärbt | dyed-in-the-wool |
in der Klemme stecken | be in a tight corner be in a tight spot be in deep water be in in hot water be stuck between a rock and a hard place be up the pole |
in der Schmiere sitzen | be in a jam be in the mire be in the suds |
in der Tinte sitzen | be in a tight corner be in a tight spot be in deep water be in in hot water be stuck between a rock and a hard place be up the pole |
an der Schwelle des Todes | at death's door |
auf der Zunge liegen | on the tip of one's tongue |
