What does it mean "To Bite the Bullet"?
Merhaba! I was chatting with my friend about my son's upcoming surgery, she mentioned how he'll have to "bite the bullet" during recovery. What did she mean ??

Hello, Zeynep!

When someone is told to "bite the bullet," it means they are being encouraged to endure or face a difficult or unpleasant situation with courage and resolve. 

Metaphorically, it implies accepting discomfort or hardship without complaint, confronting challenges head-on, and showing resilience in the face of adversity :)

I hope this answer helped you! I look forward to any other questions you might have!
