I first heard the use of the expression "codlocked" in the 1930 by a friend in Indianapolis, Indiana. I have since used this word consistently through the years as signifying a condition of being stymied.
- "I am sorry, I have a conflicting engagement. I am codlocked."
- "I don't have a move. I am codlocked!"
- "There is no way. I am codlocked!"
