Phrase of the day : There are some things people would rather avoid for as long as possible. It could be an uncomfortable conversation, a difficult decision, a stressful task or even a trip to the dentist. But sooner or later, there comes a moment when avoiding the situation is no longer an option. That's when someone might decide to “bite the bullet.” Today's phrase of the day is an English idiom about facing something difficult or unpleasant instead of continuing to put it off.
