hit the ditch

The act of an out-of-control vehicle sliding off an icy road into a roadside ditch. Also used to describe a vehicle that has done so, and is now stuck in deep snow.

I drove through a blizzard yesterday on the highway. I must have seen a dozen cars that hit the ditch on the way.

Itch in the Ditch

A painfully awkward or hilariously annoying itch located directly between the butt cheeks. Often strikes at the worst possible moment — during job interviews, funerals, or when you're in public with no hope of relief.

"Man, I couldn’t focus during that meeting — had a full-blown itch in the ditch."
"Be right back, I’ve got an itch in the ditch that needs attention."
