broken toe
Stubbed too hard
A broken toe is a toe with a fractured bone, usually from stubbing, dropping something heavy, or impact during sports.
Most broken toes heal with rest and buddy taping to an adjacent toe, though severe breaks may need medical intervention.
The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for minor injuries that cause disproportionate inconvenience: I'm limping around like I have a broken toe.
