The incipit of something in the Bluffton News-Banner:
The Romans had this particular inhumane form of execution known as the death of 1,000 cuts. If you cut your finger — say with a paring knife as you’re peeling an apple, or (a personal misery of mine) via a paper cut — it hurts, and you bleed a little bit, and you bear it. When you get 1,000 of them, however, the pain and the blood loss become too great and eventually life leaves the body.

… sorry, you’re thinking of something from China called slow slicing. Thanks for playing, we have a lovely selection of cleaning products the url for “google” for you to take home as a consolation prize … perhaps you’ll find it useful.
