In other words, they grit their teeth – another phrase to remember – and move on as though nothing happened.
Now more examples, which will give you a better idea of how to “take it on the chin” and where:
1. All About Jazz: Unfortunately, there are those who don’t take jazz seriously at all. When Clifford Brown was already making records and courting his wife-to-be who was a college student, she told him his playing wasn’t really serious music. She said, “I’ll take you over to my music professor’s home, and he’ll show you what real music is about.” When they got there, the professor asked her to introduce her friend. She said, “This is Clifford Brown.” The professor nearly fainted, and said, “My God, you’re one of the greatest trumpet players who ever lived! I listen to your records all the time!” So the lady really took it on the chin, but she ended up marrying Brown anyway.
Vic Juris: Isn’t that something! You know, people don’t realize how young these guys were. Clifford Brown died when he was only 26 years old. It’s amazing how poised and graceful these guys really were. I’m 55 now, and just beginning to realize how young these incredible players were.

2. Everton have had a difficult start to the season, with Mikel Arteta, Phil Jagielka and Phil Neville among the players to have suffered significant injuries, and the club are currently 14th in the table. Moyes remains optimistic that a home victory against Aston Villa on Saturday could turn things around, though, after draws against Wolves and Stoke in their previous games at Goodison Park.
