Between a rock and a hard place?

When someone says they are between a rock and a hard place, what’s the hard place? Is it just another rock?

Both the rock and the “hard place” is hard, right. That means you are stuck in a “hard environment” if you are between it. It just means that you are experiencing difficulties in your life or that the task that you are doing is very difficult. You are surrounded with problems.

Now that wasn’t hard, was it?

Rock. Hard place or another rock? Which is it?

Hmm. I guess it’s six of one for half dozen of the other.

It’s just an expression meaning that all of your choices are difficult ones.

Don’t take it literally. It just means things are difficult.
