The metaphor to "bite the bullet" is fascinating because it's so easy to misinterpret as "take the bullet", when actually biting a bullet is a different (and much less risky) action, but the metaphor works just fine even if you misinterpret it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bite_the_bullet

I wonder if it's so easy to misinterpret because a common thing to do after you "take the bullet" is to "bite the dust" and so the two just kinda merge in people's minds.

“Bite the bullet” and “take the bullet” used interchangeably to the convergent meaning? 100 $DEGEN

Maybe because both sayings refer to doing something unpleasant, but one is less risky nevertheless. Love that we discuss etymology and all kinds of nerdy stuff here instead of twitter drama.

Vitalik. Do you agree that ‘fascinating’ is much too strong of a term in this case lmao?

I like “bite the cartridge”, but I see why bite the bullet has endured 😂
