How to use "Catch 22's" in context?
Catch 22 is a term used in military and aviation terminology, usually referring to a bureaucratic predicament in which a means of satisfying a requirement conflicts with another requirement. For example, if a military unit needs a new weapon but cannot acquire a new supply of ammunition, they may be in a catch 22 situation.
The term can also be used metaphorically to describe a difficult or impossible situation. For example, if a person is stuck in a Catch 22 situation, they can neither progress nor retreat.
