glass jaws
Easily dropped fighters
Glass jaw refers to a boxer or fighter who is easily knocked out by a punch to the jaw, suggesting the jaw is as fragile as glass.
The term extends beyond boxing to describe anyone who can't handle criticism, setbacks, or pressure—someone who crumbles at the first sign of adversity.
He talks tough but has a glass jaw when things get difficult.
The plural form simply indicates multiple people with this vulnerability.
