Shoestring
Categories: Econ, Regulations
As in: shoestring budget. Juuuust a skosh. On the edge. Barely making it.
Like...in football, you hear the announcers talk about that shoestring catch that the wide receiver made with his fingertips, upside-down in the air with the ball at his feet, as he then tumbled into the endzone, scoring the touchdown, before the giant press conference...just before he was arrested for felony battery and ended up in prison for a decade.
