Best Answer

That is the correct expression, "It's time to swallow the bullet.", which is a way of saying that something difficult or unpleasant must be faced. It is a mix up of "bite the bullet", "a bitter pill to swallow", and "swallow your pride"; all have related meanings.

<<>> Soldiers were given a bullet to bite before battlefield surgery in the days before anaesthetics. No-one ever aimed to swallow so this is a non-metaphor.

If you swallow a bullet will the acid in your stomach fire the bullet?

No, stomach acid will not fire a bullet, or, more properly, a cartridge, you have ingested. It cannot. Further, a cartridge that is in good condition going in will almost certainly pass completely through you and be little affected by your digestive system. Transit time in a healthy "normal" person will be too short for anything substantial to happen to that cartridge.

How do you beat Bowser Jr in his third battle in super Mario galaxy 2?

(Be sure to get a life mushroom before this battle) Bowser Jr. is not intrested in a one to one fight. He activates Megahammer: a huge robot with hammers for hands! And to make matters worse, he shoots Bullet Bills! That's your goal. Free Yoshi and wait for a Bullet Bill. Swallow it and aim at the 2 blue plates. Shoot a plate 2 times to break it.(Stay clear of Banzai Bills) Then, swallow another Bullet Bill and find a sling star. There's another plate on his back! You have a short time to shoot once. Also, when you're behind him, he shoots 6 Bullet Billls and a shock wave! Avoid it and repeat this process again! After that, Bowser Jr. goes crazy! He'll shoot 2 Bullet Bills and Megahammer will slam his hammers on the planet creating 2 shockwaves! Swallow a Bullet Bill and wait for him to slam his hammers Bowser Jr.'s capsule opens! Jump and shoot the Bullet at it! Repeat this again and Bowser Jr.'s machine explodes! Then, the grand star appears. Take the time to restore life. Then use a sling star to grab it! World 4 is now open!
