騎虎難下
qí hǔ nán xià
“ride tiger difficult descend”
This is a saying that makes me with my wicked sense of humour laugh. The English equivalent is to paint oneself into a corner without the hairy element.
Not sure why one would get onto a tiger in the first place anyway… The only reason I can think of is it seems to be the only way to get away from the tiger — by jumping onto its back so that it can’t eat you.
