Vestitor:It's article listing management speak, but okay.It seems like a plug for Esperanto, which doesn't have much to do with the subject matter. It is still cool to get the exposure though.

Vestitor:Out of interest I think the term 'bite the bullet' (in the article) comes from duelling with pistols where the seconds would bite the shot to test if it was real.[/quot]
I'm thinking "bite the bullet" comes from the practice of biting down on something hard to deal with the pain of pre-antasetic surgeries as a way to deal with the pain
It may be thaat all of the above are folk etymologies.
