Definitions, predicament



predicament
noun
Definition: a difficult or embarrassing situation from which there is no easy way out, especially when a tough choice must be made
Synonyms: dilemma, bind, jam, difficulty, complication, quandary
Antonyms: solution
Tips: When you're in a predicament, you're essentially "in a bind." It means that you're in a difficult situation which you can't easily get out of. You may also have to make a choice between two things, neither being very good. Predicament is synonymous with quandary and dilemma. See quandary for additional analysis

Never thought of it exactly like that before. So, "in a bind" bondage. It's sort of like saying double bondage. But to think of it, it's like you're bound in two ways, both the body and the mind at the same time. You have to choose between which type of physical pain, and sometimes decisions are hard enough on their own.
