Charybdis

Big ass sea monster. Eats ships and people.

Did you see that movie about the Oddyssy? Holy crap, Charybdis was a big ass sea monster!

Cylla and Charybdis

1. A refrence to Homer's Odyssey, in which Odysseus and his men encounter two hazzards on either side of the Strait of Messina. One is Scylla, the six headed sea beast, and the other is Charybdis, a massive whirlpool.

2. Being caught between a rock and a hard place.

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

Between Scylla and Charybdis

Stuck in a situation where you face two dangers on either side of you, and moving away from one danger would be moving closer to the other.
Taken from Homer's Odyssey, in which Odysseus and his men must sail in between two ancient sea-monsters/Gods.

"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"

Charybdis

Acting a little bit cheeky and devious. Causing mischief.

I hit the griddy in Ikea the other day, I was being so charybdis.
