Ex. 1 — Dan and Sarah are getting married in fucking Napa where a hotel costs a billion dollars a night, guess we just have to bite the silver bullet.

Ex. 2 — Andrew wanted to go to the fanciest restaurant, order a steak and wine, and the split the bill evenly, but he's my boss so I had to bite the silver bullet.

Ex. 3 — The girl wanted to take a weekend flight to Paris for a mini-vacation, but she's so hot I just had to bite the silver bullet.
