'accept it without complaining' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'use hatchet on it ken i' is the wordplay.
'use' indicates an anagram.
'hatchet'+'on'+'it'+'ken'+'i'='hatchetonitkeni'
'hatchetonitkeni' anagrammed gives 'TAKE IT ON THE CHIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?
