Kitchen hit; no tea. Agitate or put up with it bravely? (4,2,2,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
take it on the chin
'put up with it bravely?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'kitchen hit no tea agitate' is the wordplay.
'agitate' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'agitating' mean this).
'kitchen'+'hit'+'no'+'tea'='kitchenhitnotea'
'kitchenhitnotea' is an anagram of 'TAKE IT ON THE CHIN'.
'or' 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 "facing razor blade?" , "Accept defeat stoically" , "as a boxer might?" , "But would featureless wonders > face adversity thus" , "face the situation stoically" .)
