弁べん慶けいの泣なき所どころ

expression, noun

Achilles heel; weak point; shin

Idiomatic expression referring to a person's vulnerable spot, derived from the legendary warrior monk Benkei, whose shins were said to be his only weak point. The literal meaning 'Benkei's crying spot' is the shin, but it is used figuratively for any weakness.

  He is perfect at his job, but his laxness with time is his Achilles heel.
