Can you give a proverb that means thing has two bad descriptions?

There isn't a proverb that perfectly captures the idea of something having two bad descriptions. Proverbial wisdom often focuses on single concepts or contrasting pairs.

However, here are some proverbs that touch upon the idea, which you could adapt to fit your situation:

* "Between a rock and a hard place": This proverb describes a situation with only difficult choices. You could apply it to a scenario where both options are undesirable.

* "The devil you know is better than the devil you don't": This proverb speaks to the fear of the unknown. It could relate to a situation where both options are bad, but one is at least familiar.

* "Damned if you do, damned if you don't": This proverb directly addresses the dilemma of being caught between two unfavorable choices.

You could also craft your own phrase using existing proverbs as inspiration:

* "Caught between a bad rock and a worse hard place."

* "A double-edged sword, both sides dull."

Ultimately, the best way to express the concept of having two bad descriptions depends on the specific situation and the desired tone.
