If you love metaphors, what is it? If a jelly is tightened in a vise, it will not remain intact. How can a jelly be thrown away? Is the vise used for holding things hard?

What is a very tight situation this phrase can be used If it is a body who cannot hold the pressure mount but a target is attached to the subject for the

purpose of the work and is then in tight focus without resisting the tension, such as this screw tightening, for instance?

I literally felt like Jelly in a vise while finishing my final exams without preparation.”
