slings and arrows n (plural only) (idiomatic)
Hardships or adverse circumstances. Harsh criticism or personal attacks. Yesterday, April 23, is traditionally celebrated as the birthdate of the English playwright William Shakespeare who was born 460 years ago in 1564—the term slings and arrows is from the second quarto of Shakespeare’s play Hamlet (written 1599–1601 and first published 420 years ago in 1604). Today is the International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace, which is recognized by the United Nations to emphasize the importance of multilateralism and international co-operation to promote peace and security, development, and human rights.
