Rock/hard place
Hi!
I need an idiom for expressing this concept: "You have to choices, but either way you're toast."
Now, I know there is "You're between a rock and a hard place", but my understanding is that this is not dramatic enough, and might mean just the choice between to equally UNDESIRABLE options."
I want to imply that either way you are doomed. Do you have an expression that has more punch than the above?
