The Tar-Baby is a fictional character in the second of the Uncle Remus stories published in 1881.

It is a doll made of tar (nonfiction) and (turpentine nonfiction) used to entrap Br'er Rabbit.

The more that Br'er Rabbit fights the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he becomes.

In modern usage, "tar baby" refers to any "sticky situation" that is only aggravated by additional involvement in it.
