| Jan 11, 2017 at 16:14 | comment | added | mstorkson | A possible analogy is "pressure point", though that is typically the opposite context. A "pressure point" is a point on the body that causes severe pain when pressure is applied to it. And would typically be used to indicate an aggressive coercion rather than taking advantage of someone's affection for you. | |
