المعنى
Going from a bad to a worse situation.
خلفية ثقافية
Poles often use this idiom with a shrug of the shoulders, reflecting a cultural acceptance of 'pech' (bad luck). It's a way to normalize struggle. You will often see this in news headlines regarding the economy, especially when one crisis (like inflation) is followed by another (like high interest rates). In older villages, the 'rynna' was a critical part of water collection. Getting soaked by one was a genuine, embarrassing risk for those not paying attention.
Shorten it!
In casual conversation, you don't need the verb. Just say 'Z deszczu pod rynnę!' when something goes wrong.
Case sensitivity
Make sure to use 'rynnę' (ending in -ę) because you are 'falling' into a direction.
