A vulnerability or an area of weakness where one can be hurt or damaged, much like an Achilles’ heel, is known as a
chink in one´s armour
When someone possesses something of great value, it is something that can
fetch a high price
If someone is extremely unhappy because something is not interesting or because they have nothing to do, they are
board stiff
If someone or something is ready or prepared to engage in a violent act, they are
primed to attack
To experience significant negative consequences or disadvantages, often as a result of a decision, action, or situation, is to
pay a high price
When what is believed about something or someone is based on their past actions, they can be said to have a
well-earned reputation
When someone is willing to fight for something until they die
defend to the death
From the very beginning, from the outset; from nothing
from skratch
a small amount of truth
a grain of truth
