in der Schwebe hängen
up in the air
in der Schwebe sein
up in the air
in der Schmiere sitzen
be in a jam
be in the mire
be in the suds
an den Lippen hängen
hang on every word
in der Familie liegen
run in the family
in der Scheiße
fucked
einen Schwatz halten
hobnob
den Schnabel halten
shut up
in den roten Zahlen
in the red
in der Nase bohren
pick one's nose
in die Bresche springen
step into the breach
in die Scheide stecken
sheathe
in drei Tagen
in three days
den Schein wahren
keep up appearances
in den Rücken fallen
stab somebody in the back
in den Schatten stellen
dwarf
eclipse
outshine
in der Klemme 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
in der Kreide stehen
owe
in der Patsche 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
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
