In the Romulan game of dejarik, there is a classing manuever called the fork, where a player moves a single attacking gamepiece into postion to threaten two or more of her opponent's pieces. No matter which piece the opponent moves to safety, the other will be destroyed. Caught in the fork, one's only choice is which piece to lose. The word has come to symbolize situations where the only choice to be made is a choice of disasters.

As Tal stared at the dead form of Xanadu, she knew that they were well and truly forked.
