The phrase "the straw that broke the camel's back" is an idiomatic expression used to describe a minor or seemingly inconsequential action that causes a significant reaction or the tipping point in a situation. It suggests that a series of burdens or stresses can accumulate, and while one additional small issue may seem trivial on its own, it is enough to lead to a breaking point or crisis.
