suck it up, buttercup

get over it; accept a difficult situation keep going

Etymology:

  • See the original phrase "suck it up" to know where the original phrase came from. Buttercup got added mainly because it rhymes and because it adds a bit of sarcasm or irony to the phrase that also adds a bit of an insult by accusing someone of also being a buttercup or "pansy"--someone who lacks the courage to do the thing they're talking about (the thing over which they should suck it up)
