Accept misfortune courageously, having fresh tea in hot kitchen (4,2,2,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
take it on the chin
'accept misfortune courageously' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'fresh tea in hot kitchen' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates anagramming the letters (a fresh re-ordering of the letters).
'tea'+'in'+'hot'+'kitchen'='teainhotkitchen'
'teainhotkitchen' anagrammed gives 'TAKE IT ON THE CHIN'.
'having' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for take it on the chin that I've seen before include "as a boxer might?" , "face the situation stoically" , "Be courageous" , "facing razor blade?" , "Accept defeat stoically" .)
