| Jan 11, 2022 at 3:59 | comment | added | magras | I think another aspect of the phrase can be expressed as "to leap a chasm in two jumps", but it implies impossibility instead of greater cost. | |
| Jan 11, 2022 at 2:21 | comment | added | MarcInManhattan | Then "bite the bullet" works well; another gun-related metaphor is "pull the trigger". You can also say that the person needs to "jump in with both feet" or maybe "commit to a course of action". | |
