Request: what are some other idiomatic way of saying getting into trouble? Or some alternatives (slangs, idioms, phrases)?
In context like:
I've gotten into trouble, so I can't contact you right now.
Ideally, is there any websites or dictionary where I can search for phrases, idioms, etc. by typing the meaning I want to convey?
Here are a few colourful idioms which mean the same; some are more dated than others. Note that they are a bit UK centric.
"I'm in a pickle", or "I'm in a bit of a pickle".
"I'm in deep sh*t right now", which is fairly typical street slang, common in the UK.
"I'm up to my neck" (which could also just mean "I'm extremely busy").
... and can't think of any more off the top of my head, maybe I'll come back to this.
