Just bite the bullet意思

"Just bite the bullet" is an English idiom that means to accept something unpleasant, difficult, or painful that cannot be avoided. The phrase suggests that one should simply endure the hardship without complaint, as if biting down on a bullet to endure pain during an operation before anesthesia was available.

For example, if you've been putting off a difficult conversation with your boss about a job issue but know it needs to be done, you might say, "I guess it's time to just bite the bullet and have that conversation."

This idiom is often used when there is no easy way out of a situation and the only option is to face the challenge head-on.
