BITE THE BULLET (INTERESTING EXPRESSIONS)

Hello everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope that your day started off well. 

For the rest of this week, and next week, we are going to review some different interesting expressions. Well, I think they are interesting, and I hope you do too.

Today's interesting expression is: To bite the bullet

It is believed that this first expression comes from the practice of having patients bite down on a bullet (or another object) during a surgery on a battlefield when there was no anaesthetic to ease the pain. The meaning comes from this idea.

Meaning: to be brave in a challenging situation; to force yourself to do something difficult or unpleasant.

Sentence 1: My sister does not like to go to the dentist, but she knows that she needs to go, so she has decided to bite the bullet.

Sentence 2: I don't want to write my paper for the history class, but I need to get it done. So, I have decided to stay home tonight and get it done. I've decided to bite the bullet tonight.
