JCB


the expression comes from the jcb company, a uk-based manufacturer of heavy equipment founded by joseph cyril bamford in 1945. it’s like saying, “you’d need a bulldozer to dig yourself out of this.”
from ian rankin’s “resurrection men,” an inspector rebus novel, chapter 16:

“f-ck me?” claverhouse was shaking his head. “you’ve got it all wrong, rebus. it’s you the boys in barlinnie will be telling to bend over. because if i can tie you to cafferty and his operation, so help me i’ll send you so far down they’ll need a jcb to find you.”
when a person is cornered and needs to be metaphorically “dug out” of a situation
you need a jcb to get out of this
