Shoehorn

Everyone might have seen a curved instrument used for easing one’s heel into a shoe (especially while purchasing a shoe). Many of us would be wondering the name of this wonderful instrument. Well, that’s shoehorn. Originally, shoehorns were made from animal horns and hence got this name.

Also, as a verb shoehorn is used to indicate force into an inadequate space.

Example

>There was no adequate seating space in the hall and hence people were shoehorned into cramped corners

>The produced tried asking a director who got a creative mind to shoehorn his work of art in a style that suits the audience’s perception of his idea so that TRP score and advertisement revenue are at par with the budget
