Nicchimo Sacchimo Ikanai

Today I will talk about the phrase "nicchimo sacchimo ikanai".
"Nicchimo sacchimo ikanai" means that something/someone is completely pinned down.
This phrase comes from an abacus term "nshin-mo sanshin-mo".
"Nishin" means "two divided by two", "sanshin" means "three divided by three", and both of them can be calculated without remainder.
From these terms, "nishin-mo sanshin-mo ikanai" (both nishin and sanshin can't go well) came to express that a number can't be divided by 2 and 3, then it came to mean that a calculation with abacus doesn't go well.
Furthermore it came to mean that business doesn't go well, finally it came to mean the meaning mentioned at the beginning.

にっちもさっちもいかない
今日は「にっちもさっちもいかない」という言葉を紹介します。
「にっちもさっちもいかない」は、行き詰まってどうしようもないようすを表す言葉です。
この言葉はそろばん用語である、「二進も三進も」に由来します。
「二進」は「2割る2」、「三進」は「3割る3」であり、どちらも余りなく計算ができることを意味します。
ここから「2でも3でも割り切れないこと」を「二進も三進も行かない」というようになり、「そろばんで計算がうまくできない」という意味になりました。
そして、「商売がうまく行かない」というような意味になり、上述のような意味になったとされています。
