foot catch

Something is falling to the ground. It's mostly likely valuable and/or fragile. The crushing impact with the solid floor will certainly break it. With spiderman-like reflexes, your foot swiftly moves to its trajectory, intercepting the thing and breaking its fall. Foot catch. Success.

One time my Dad admitted that when my brother was a baby he fell off the bed and my Dad used a foot catch. Seriously.

Catch-22

A "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation, where there is no right choice. See: Kobayashi Maru.

Being White is a Catch-22. If you participate in a different culture, that's cultural appropriation... but if you don't, you're not being inclusive. If you move into an urban area, you're part of the gentrification problem... but if you move out of an urban area, you're part of the "white flight" problem. If you don't pay attention to skin color, you're ignoring racism... but if you do, you're racist. There is no right choice.

Catching the Lemon

The act of being forced to do something unpleasant that you would never begin to do in the first place, nor have any need to complete.

I wasn't going trying to, but I was totally catching the lemon when my co-worker asked me to cover for him.
