On The Fence

Undecided. Or being deliberately over diplomatic

I think the allusion is fairly straightforward. If I sit astride my garden fence, one leg either side (I imagine it would uncomfortable, so I don't do it often, or indeed, at all) I am neither on one side nor the other, but 'distributed' evenly between the two, and can, with equal ease, drop to either side.



Ex:I’m going to stay sat on the fence as I don’t want to offend either party.



Spanish: nadar entre dos aguas



German: zwischen den Fronten stehen
