Quagmire
I started this post as a curiosity for what people would come up with when confronted with a word they are unfamiliar with. Unfortunately, I was not as well versed as others. There is nothing really special about this word. I just was bored/curious one day and started asking folks.
when you hear the word quagmire, what do you think?
Person 1
like a problem that you are stuck in
as in "this quagmire is quite the pickle we are in"
Person 2
makes me think its the name of some strange animal in Australia or something
Person 3
An unfortunate situation, similar to a kerfuffle
and of course, family guy
a boondoggle or annoyance
Person 4
swampland?
Person 5
nothing actually cause I don't believe i know what that means
so google is the first thought
after some prompting
ducks, ducks body part
maybe in the throat area
Person 6

Person 7

Person 8

A difficult conversation
Person 18
Physicallly it's a bog or swamp, metaphorically its something you get stuck in and it sucks the life out of you or slows you down and impeded progress. or that's what I think but you are asking an engineer about English
did the word quagmire get you stuck in a quagmire?
Person 19
I think of a tough situation...why
Person 20
I think it sounds familiar but I don't know why
i just looked it up and that is not what I was thinking it meant...and i am not a family guy watcher....it definitely not a word i normally use...and now I wonder why are you asking...was caused this polling?
something like a sticky situation or a difficult decision
Person 21
a mess?
could also be a quandary
Person 22
a muddled up mess
Person 23
are we talking about definition or something else
Quagmire = Character from Family Guy
Also reminds me of Dick Cheney - https://youtu.be/YENbElb5-xY
A quagmire is like a sticky situation.
Person 24
Cross Threaded !!!!
Person 25

Person 26
I definitely think of Family Guy
Person 27
A very difficult decisions/spot you find yourself in. not a trap but more a kinda lose-lose situation
