It means literally raise your chin or in other words cheer up and be more cheerful or happy.

hi Alan,
thanx for your explanation for the previous question.
I wanna know what does 'face up' mean (Ref:incompl/elem-32 "Responses (5)", question 10)
Can it b used in the context (w.r.t. q) that though a person is depressed , they should not get boggled up with it but face the situation n thereby tackle it???
regards
Sangeetha |

Hi Sangeetha,
The full expression is face up to and this has the meaning of accepting what is going to happen/being fatalistic as in:
As you get older (and I know all about this!), you have to face up to the aches and pains you feel and not complain.

We use it too, also we use "Head up".
Whether those phrases can be used in UK or USA?
