Patient: I will have a singing examination tomorrow but I am a bit freaked out.
Doctor: I think you can pluck up your courage and bite the bullet.
Patient: It is a singing examination, not about shooting a handgun.
Doctor: Biting the bullet is just an idiomatic expression that means to face a difficult situation bravely and stoically. To achieve your best performance, practise more and calm yourself down during the examination.
