take the count
"Take the count" is an idiomatic term generally used in boxing. After a boxer has been knocked down, the referee begins a count and if the boxer is not able to stand back up and resume fighting by the count of ten, the match is over, signifying a knockout. So, to "take the count" means to be defeated or to lose, particularly after a struggle or effort. This phrase can also be expanded beyond boxing to refer to giving up or admitting defeat in other areas of life.
