Biting the bullet--what does this mean?

[KarenB]

I am pretty good when it comes to figuring out things like LOL, BTW, LMAO. I have been trying to figure out this one that I have seen here and on other sites.

PSA??? Can you give me a hint?

You know, like those things on TV when there's bad weather.

Sometimes the poster means it as a joke (PSA - don't stick your tongue to a lamppost in the winter) and sometimes it's serious, but it's actually not an internet thing like LOL is. It's just an abbreviation.

I always take it as meaning taking the plunge, just doing it I hope thats right or I look really stupid

 

[KarenB]

Ha! I NEVER would have guessed that, but looking back at where I have seen PSA, it makes sense!! Ya learn something every day!

Silly me thought you were asking what "bite the bullet" meant...

 

[clovergirl5]

Wait, I guess I don't understand...do you want to know what biting the bullet means or PSA?
