"If I tell her I like her, she'll get too clingy, but if I don't tell her anything, she might think I'm not interested. I'm really between Scylla and Charybdis here"

"I was caught between Cylla and Charybdis. My only choices were to miss out on the dance or go with that nerd."

Get the Cylla and Charybdis mug.The Latin phrase "incidit in scyllam, cupiens vitare charybdim" comes from Greek mythology in the story of Odysseus known also as Ulysses. Scylla and Charybdis were rocks on either side of a narrow inlet. The phrase means trying to avoid Charybdis one founders on Scylla. It represents the idea of having to choose between two evils and has the force of being "on the horns of a dilemma," "between the devil and the deep blue sea."
