Ep 5: Bite the Bullet – Ouch! Can it be a lifestyle or just a temp solution?
Jan 02, 2026What does it really mean to "bite the bullet"? In this episode, we uncover the fascinating (and sometimes grim) origins of one of the most common English idioms—facing hardship with grit and determination.
We break down the popular myths, like soldiers biting bullets during surgery without anesthesia, examine real historical sources, and reveal how the phrase entered everyday language. Plus, modern examples to show why we still use it today.
Perfect for anyone interested in language, idioms, etymology, or the stories behind the words we say every day.
