'Chink in armour' = khe hở của bộ áo giáp (về mặt hình tượng thì nó giống vớt Gót chân Achilles) -> điểm yếu nhỏ nhưng có thể gây thiệt hại, bất lợi không ngờ tới.

Ví dụ 
Coastal security (an ninh vùng biển) continues to be a chink in armour. A comprehensive plan with a three-tier security was drawn up. The Indian Navy and the Coast Guard components are broadly in position, but the third tier of marine police is still struggling to take shape. A National Maritime Authority is also yet to be set up.

The leggings and sports bra together aren’t the cute matching set that I’m used to, so I’m also feeling that tiny bit less confident (tự tin). My workout doesn’t necessarily suffer for it, but my mindset does, and that’s the entire reason I go to the gym: to clear my mind and feel strong. Ultimately, I feel like there’s a chink in my armour and I can’t help but feel uncomfortable throughout my session.

Coca-Cola didn’t renew its contract for Thums Up with Salman Khan for the first time since 2012 and signed on Ranveer Singh instead, who symbolises youth. Besides this, Khan was earlier replaced as brand endorser (người chuyển nhượng) of Revital by former Indian skipper MS Dhoni. What works for Khan is that he reaches out to the hinterland easily, but his chink in armour is his relevance among urban audiences and millennials.
