> “Over my skis” ~ in over my head.

Is that correct? Never heard the expression before, but as a skier if you're over your skis you're in control of them, while if you're backseated the skis will control you.



It seems to be currently popular corporate-speak for "overextended." I've heard it a bunch lately. Never really thought about whether it was accurate, though!
