pain of a thousand swords
It’s when pain hits you so hard, it’s like every sword in hell is slicing through your body or mind.
My math test was so bad I felt like a thousand swords were cutting my brain into pieces.
I got yelled at by my mom for forgetting to do the dishes. It was like being stabbed by swords made of frustration.
My cat knocked over my coffee. My soul died a little, and it felt like being pierced by a thousand swords.
