뜻
To be in a hopeless or extremely difficult situation, beyond recovery.
문화적 배경
The phrase is immortalized in the poetry of Saadi. It reflects a stoic acceptance of hardship that is common in Persian classical thought. In many Iranian 'social realism' films, characters use this phrase to justify taking a final, desperate stand against corruption or poverty. Iranians often use this idiom with a specific shrug and a sigh, showing a cultural trait of 'Taslim' (submission to fate) when things go wrong.

Too Dramatic?
