Grin and Bare It

Ok, this is the first post, inspired by Doug IM-ing me, "I think I found another thing that I've gotten wrong forever."

It nicely illustrates what we can call, "Malapropisms that are maybe even better than the correct word or phrase."

Here's the definition:

To accept an unpleasant or difficult situation because there is nothing you can do to improve it. I don't want to spend the whole weekend working but I guess I'll just have to grin and bear it.

But the idea of getting naked makes whatever unpleasantness you're talking about that much more uncomfortable. Unless you're a nudist.
