what you think now let's talk about the
phrase to beat around the bush this
means to avoid getting to the point it
is used when someone is not being direct
or is avoiding the main topic for
instance if someone's hesitating to give
you a straight answer you might say come

me what happened or when asking for a
straightforward opinion on your project
you might say please don't beat around
the bush I need your honest feedback or
if someone's hesitating to give you bad
news you could encourage them with don't
beat around the bush just tell me what's
wrong up next is bite the bullet this
means to bravely face a difficult
situation or endure something unpleasant
without avoiding it say you've been
putting off a tough conversation you
might tell yourself it's time to bite
the bullet and just talk to them or
let's imagine you're contemplating a
medical procedure you've been anxious
about again you might tell yourself it's
time to bite the bullet and schedule the
surgery or when you've been hesitating
to try a new challenging hobby that
you've always been interested in but
also intimidated by like skydiving or
scuba diving and finally decide to sign
up for it despite your fears you could
say you know what it's time to buy the
bullet and go for that first dive or
jump I've been putting this off for too
long staying on the topic of bullets our
next phrase is Dodge the bullet it is
used to describe narrowly avoiding a
problem danger or undesirable situation
imagine you're on your way to an
important meeting and you hear a traffic
report warning of a massive jam on your
usual route deciding to take a less
familiar back road instead you arrive on
time while your colleagues stuck in
traffic are late later recounting your
experience you might say I really dodged
the Bullet by taking the back road this
morning or suppose you've been
considering investing in a startup
company that seems promising right
before you commit your savings a friend
in the finance sector warns you about
the shaky foundations of the company
when a company goes under a few months
later you realize your close call and
you mention to your friend thanks to
your advice I dodged the bullet with
that investment it could have been a
financial disaster for me and finally we
have drop the ball this is used when
someone makes a mistake or failed to
fulfill a responsibility it's like
admitting I messed up for example if you
forgot to send an important email you
might say I really dropped the ball on
that one I'll fix it right away or or if
you forget to pay a bill on time you
might admit to your partner I dro the
ball on the electricity bill I'll handle
it first thing tomorrow or in a team
project if you miss a deadline you could
say you're a team I'm sorry I really
dropped the ball on getting that report
done I'll make it up and there you have
