Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

If someone inflicts pain on someone else, they are said to be "putting them in the Hurt Locker". It is a colloquiallism, that means to cause someone physical or mental suffering.

Another similar phrase is, "a world of hurt" meaning that someone is in (or is going to be in) a great deal of physical , mental, or emotional suffering.

Hope this helps!
