Here's one,
Leaning Into What Scares You. Far as I can tell it means the same as
Face Up To
At first, I assumed 'leaning in' was what 'leaners' do, as opposed to what 'lifters' do. Traditionally we have referred to the two groups as 'bludgers' and 'battlers'. However, certain politicians, journalists, and other so-called 'influencers' have started using 'leaners' and 'lifters'. For a while I thought a 'leaner' was someone who put their shoulder to the wheel, and a 'lifter' was someone who stole things. I still don't really get why a 'bludger' is a 'leaner' - maybe it means up against a wall - but that's something else
BTW: my use of 'RTFM' was prompted by three consecutive responses I posted in the Calibre forum in as many minutes, with something like: "See ==>
calibre User Manual: Keyboard shortcuts." I did get some karma for one of them.
