EN: in a tight spot; short of money; cornered
That dreaded 'petsa de peligro' feeling right before payday. When your wallet is on life support and your ATM balance is judging you. You're 'gipit' when you have to choose between load and lunch. It's not just about money; you can also be 'gipit sa oras' (short on time) when you're stuck in EDSA traffic and your meeting starts in 5 minutes.
Most commonly refers to financial difficulty but can also describe being in a tight or difficult situation in general.
