get stuck in something—
1. become entangled in sand, snow, etc., so as to be unable to get away from a place:
- We were on our way to visit another village, but our car got stuck in the mud.
2. get involved with smth. so as to be unable to leave a place:
- It seemed like nobody else noticed how late the show went. I’m sure a lot of Jerseyites got stuck in the city that night.
3. get involved with smth. so as to be unable to develop or progress:
- Instead of marching forward, the revolution got stuck in the bog of philistinism.
get stuck into something—(coll.) start doing smth. with enthusiasm and determination; get down to a task:
- I think it’s time we got stuck into some gardening.
