The meaning of 'swimming with sharks' #1 (permalink) Tue Sep 12, 2006 18:01 pm   The meaning of 'swimming with sharks'		  
Hello! How is it going?

Can you give an example with "swimming with
sharks" and tell me the meaning as well, please?

I suppose that "swimming with sharks" is used
to mean "someone is in danger or in an
embarrassing situation", but I am not really
sure. I was looking it up in different dictionaries
and didn?t manage to find it.


Thanks a lot!
