How to use "Grin and bear it" in context?
Grin and bear it is a phrase that is often said in order to deal with difficult or unpleasant situations. The phrase is derived from the story of Prometheus, who was chained to a rock by Zeus and tortured every day for giving people knowledge. Prometheus eventually managed to trick Zeus into believing that he had abandoned him, and so Zeus released him. Prometheus then advised his fellow Greeks to grin and bear it when confronted with unfair treatment.
