Is this some meaning of beard I am so far unfamiliar with? The only meaning that jumps to mind is the facial hair, and when I looked up in the dictionary I was reminded me of the LGBT meaning, but neither of them fit here.

- ed 1y agoThanks! I’m a native speaker (US) and was unfamiliar with this idiom. Cambridge dictionary does list this definition of beard: > to face, meet, or deal with an unpleasant or frightening person in a brave or determined way
- readthenotes1 1y agoIt's a little old fashioned. Many sayings have a naval origin, a bunch of others have a biblical origin. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Samuel%2017%3A35&version=NKJV https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Samuel%2017...
