'Suck it up'

I've not heard it outside of Hitched. Lots of time in here of course!

I'd never heard it before, and saw it on here one day and everyone was using it. It was like they'd all arranged it and not told me ?

It's an americanism, isn't it?

Ive been hearing it for a while in RL but have only just recently noticed it on the boards.

An ex-boss of mine used to say "you'll need to suck it and see." It made me feel creepy. Suck it up isn't so bad.

I first heard it from one of my mates (not a Hitcher). I have to say I don't like it.

I think I might have picked it up from loml, who spends too much time on American poker forums ? I like it.

Hmm, i've used it lots before but I grew up in Oz, so could possibly be an imported Americanism.

In 'the real world' I use 'take it on the chin' which has a similar meaning.

Does seem to be rather prevalent on here atm. I don't like it. It's usually said in an unsympathetic way which I like even less.

Also I mentally have to make a hoover noise in my head which annoys me ?

I've been using it for years, but I think it's a lot more prevalent here. It got bandied about a lot at work, for instance.

I been hearing / using it for months.

Noticing it more here now.

I've only ever heard it on here and it seems to be everywhere you look here. I really don't like it much because like someone else said it's normally said unsympathetically.

Never heard it before but it sounds like one of those awful corporate/american type terms-like someone said `suck it and see` I fecking HATE that!!!! and `issues around` and `blue sky thinking` and `singing from the same song sheet` makes me want to gag.

WSS. For some reason I always hear Chandler from Friends saying "suck it up my man" whenever I read it on here.

Well I remember hollering it at my ex-H in the wee hours soon after the first child was born so that's almost 5yrs ago now! I think it's an americanism too as I always used to work for American companies and spent a lot of time there. I think it's a great saying to be honest.
