Foreign.
Welcome to the Aid is the English podcast.
My name is Jack and I'm here with my co host, Xochil.
And today we have another collocation episode and social.
This is where I will give you a verb.
And then you have to match the phrase that goes with it.
So what sounds natural?
And the first one is bite.
And we have bite the ice, bite in the towel, or bite the bullet.
Bite the bullet, that's correct.
What does it mean to bite the bullet?
This.
I know what it means, but it's kind of hard to describe.
But it's like something's coming at you and you bite the bullet.
Like, just imagine like the bullet is.
Someone is shooting a bullet at you and you just take it kind of.
I can't explain it better than that.
It comes from, like the civil war, I believe, if I'm not mistaken, is when they would amputate the legs of someone.
This is before they had, like, you know, anesthesia, right?
You weren't sleeping, you were awake, and they took a saw and sawed off your leg.
