Phrase | bullet |
Text | In this podcast, the word "bullet" means a small mark, usually a round circle, used at the beginning of each item in a list, especially in a report: "Instead of listing all those things in a paragraph separated by commas, try putting them in a list with bullets to make it easier for people to read." When talking about guns, a "bullet" is a small piece of metal that is shot from a gun to hurt or kill a person or animal: "The hunter shot three bullets, but he didn't hit any of the geese." Finally, the phrase "to bite the bullet" means to do something that is dangerous, difficult, or unpleasant, especially if one has been avoiding it for a period of time: "They've been delaying cleaning out the garage for years, but now it's time to bite the bullet and just do it." |
