And this has been your random post for the evening.

Where did the saying "Just suck it up" come from? Just what are we all sucking?

As in:

Sample person A: I'm so stressed out lately. Work has been so rough.

Sample Respondent B: Suck it up, buttercup.

When life gets tough or complicated, somehow, apparently 'sucking' will fix it. What are we sucking on? Narcotic, mind bending drugs? Various body parts?

This has been your random, non fashion-related post for the evening. Your regular, retail-therapy related programming will now resume. Thank you.
