pin cushion
Sewing room staple
A pin cushion is a small, soft pad used to hold pins and needles when sewing.
The cushion keeps sharp points contained and accessible.
Figuratively, someone or something that absorbs repeated attacks or punctures may be called a pin cushion: After all those injections, my arm feels like a pin cushion.
Also spelled pincushion.
