Definition
吃哑巴亏
Literally means:
suffering loss cannot refute just like being dumb and unable to speak
Actually means:
have to keep one's grievances to oneself
Like a dumb person who swallows a bitter pill in silence, it is used to describe a person who has to suffer in silence and keep his or her grievances to himself or herself.
指吃了亏却不能或不愿意说出来。
Example
Used as predicate, object or attributive, and can be used with other words in between. (作谓语、宾语、定语，中间可以插入别的词语)
