(a chink (или weak joint, weak point) in smb's armour)чьё-л. слабое, уязвимое место; ≈ ахиллесова пятаFor years she had told him how beautiful he was and now he could not live without flattery.

XXIII) — Плутократия, в руках которой была административная власть, повысила налоги. Это было ахиллесовой пятой фермеров.

‘Here, you want to go an' shadder a few manners the next time you go shaddering,’ miss Sellers jeered, singling out, with feminine swiftness and accuracy, the weak joint in the other's armour. (J. B.
