Try taking a Jenga block out

Used to challenge someone who is calling your stability into question.

Metaphor’s imagery context: The popular wood block game is readily associated with the concept of stability, as a tower will fall if the wrong block is removed.

Trenchcoat Triad: *looks for the right Jenga block but can’t find one*
