clogged drain
Stopped-up pipe outlet
A clogged drain is a pipe or channel blocked by accumulated debris—hair, grease, soap residue—preventing water from flowing through.
The term applies literally to plumbing problems and figuratively to any system where normal flow is obstructed: The bureaucracy acted as a clogged drain on progress.
