What does the idiom 'up a creek without a paddle' mean?
Up a creek without a paddle means you are in deep trouble and there is nothing you can do about it. Your situation is quite hopeless, in other words. The image in this idiom is of a boat adrift in a river, with no paddles (oars) to steer with. It doesn't mean things are hopeless. It's just going to take more effort/time to get back home. If you ever find yourself up the creek be thankful you're not in a pickle
