Walk a Fine Line
What it means
Balance carefully between two outcomes, either of which you could tip into by accident.
Where it comes from
Fine here means thin, the same sense as a fine point or fine thread, not fine as in good. The line is narrow because there is almost no room on it.
The puzzle it came from
