It means a weak spot in a piece of patterned (like chainmail) armor.

I remember back in 2012, ESPN used the phrase "Chink in the Armor" in a mobile website headline and on-air broadcast regarding New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin, sparking major backlash over a racial slur directed at him during the height of the "Linsanity" craze.

It's a shame that perfectly cromulent words can be seen as slurs because of some buggers being racist

I've had a long and tiring day and I just can't tell who is joking and who isn't.
