noun

British slang

An imaginary street where people in difficulties (especially financial ones) are supposed to reside; (hence) the fact of being in a difficult position, in trouble, etc.

Origin

Early 19th century; earliest use found in Lexicon Balatronicum: a dictionary of buckish slang, university wit, and pickpocket eloquence.
