Tricky situation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrape

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">tricky situation</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for scrape that I've seen before include "Thinly applied butter - or jam!" , "stroke of a violin" , "hole" , "Rasp or abrade" , "Take the surface off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
