idiomsth sticks in sb's throat1 (also stick in sb's craw AmE) if an idea or situation sticks in your throat, you dislike it and it is very difficult for you to accept:It sticks in my throat that we're having to pay extra rent on a property that we improved with our own money.What really sticks in my craw is the way that people with problems get help, but ordinary, hard-working people have to struggle.2 if something that you are trying to say sticks in your throat, you are unable to say it, especially because of a strong emotion:She couldn't say "Thank you", the words stuck in her throat, but Mr Evans seemed to know what she meant.
