Looking for an idiom.

I'm looking for an idiom which ends with the words "open wound". I don't remember the entire idiom, it is like "better * * * * open wound". Thanks

I do not think that there is such an idiomatic expression. Can you remember anything more? We can use "open wound" figuratively to refer to a continuing problem.

Again, I'm pretty sure you just heard a one-off figure of speech. I've never seen that "Mountbatten". I wanted to when it came out, mostly because of the late, great Nicol Williamson. I've been a fan ever since his scenery-devouring Merlin in Excalibur. Thanks fo

Hi,

If you pour salt in an open wound, you ad dextra pain to a situation that is already painful in some way.

At 7:50, he says, "A short war might be better than letting this become an open sore." There is no idiomatic expression there. "Open sore" is a simple metaphor for an intractable problem.
