A quagmire (KWAG-mire) — from the Middle English for “bog/marsh” — is an area of soft, wet low-lying land that sinks underfoot. By extension, we use the word for a difficult or precarious situation.
Example (as used by David Cross today): “Finding topics to write about [for your website or e-newsletter] isn’t always easy. There is one type of article, though, that can pull you out of this creative quagmire. It will keep your readers happy and help boost your search engine traffic at the same time.”
