Struggle bus
Significado: A humorous way to describe having a really hard time with something.
Riding the struggle bus means you're having difficulty — whether it's a Monday morning, a tough workout, or a complicated math problem. The metaphor of being on a 'bus' headed somewhere bad makes it lighthearted. It can describe physical, mental, or emotional difficulty.
