Phrase | suck it up |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "suck it up" is used to tell someone that he or she needs to stop complaining and do what is needed, even if it is difficult: "Stop complaining! Just suck it up and get the work done!" Normally the verb "to suck" means to use pressure to pull a liquid into one's mouth: "The thicker a milkshake is, the harder it is to suck it up the straw." The verb "to suck" is also used informally to talk about something that seems unfair and unpleasant: "You lost your keys right before your job interview? That sucks!" Finally, the phrase "to be/get sucked in" means to become involved in something, especially if one didn't really want to become involved in it: "How did you get sucked into watching that TV series?" |
