prettygoodwordtrilemma (tray-LEM-mah) - n., a situation in which there is a choice of three equally undesirable options.
Independently coined from dilemma several times, the first time in 1672 by a preacher named Philip Henry. One of the earliest expressed trilemmas is that of Epicurus, who argued that the existence of an omnipotent God, an omnibenevolent God, and evil/suffering are mutually incompatible.
