مرگ با هزار خراش / Death by 1000 Cuts

مرگ با هزار خراش به یک روش شکنجه باستان اشاره دارد که در آن تعداد خیلی زیادی خراش بر روی بدن قربانی ایجاد می‌شد. هیچ کدام از خراش ها عمیق و مرگبار نبودند، اما تجمع همه‌ی آنها موجب یک مرگ آهسته و دردناک می‌شود.

Death by 1000 cuts refers to an ancient method of torture in which numerous small cuts were made on a victim's body. None of the cuts were deadly by themselves, but the combination of them would cause them to die a slow, painful death. In psychology, it refers to small issues that are overlooked until they add up to something too big to ignore. Sometimes I question which version of the phrase is worse.
