put in bind
hi everybody!
i encountered the phrase "to put s.o. in bind". i have a guess but actually i´m not quite sure what it means.
is it bind in the meaning of mandatory, like something is the duty of someone, meaning i put him into duty so to speak,
or bind more literally as cuffing or keeping him from doing something?
or maybe something entirely different?

ok, found it. thanks.
so actually it´s: (put) in a bind and means something like an awkward position someone is in.
