How to use «Like a bear» in context?
When I was a kid, my friends and I would always say «like a bear» when we were feeling particularly determined or like we could take on the world. Though the phrase is rooted in cartoons and silly humor, it has a sort of unsung power.
In reality, of course, bears are roughly the size of a small dog and can’t really do much except sit there and eat trash. But somehow, the phrase manages to evoke a feeling of strength and power that is undeniably appealing.
