Touch and Go
/tʌtʃ ənd ɡoʊ/adjective
Describing a situation that is precarious, uncertain, or could go either way — a close call where the outcome was not guaranteed. Borrowed from aviation (a touch-and-go landing where the plane briefly touches down then takes off again), it describes any narrow escape or situation hanging in the balance.
“It was touch and go for a while but the deployment finally succeeded at 2am.”
