Suck It
1. An insult. Synonymous with "Get bent!", "F*** you!", etc.
2. An amorous command. The "it" is usually not a subject fit for kids or polite company.
3. An innocent request. In this case, the "it" may be a bottle, a lollipop, or venom (first aid for a snakebite often calls for the venom to be sucked out of the bite).
---------------- Suck It Up
This is a command meant to inspire, to motivate.
- Persevere - Stick with it - Work harder - Keep working hard
Our football coach used this one a lot, especially at the end of a game or practice. The context of its usage is usually when you're tired and/or things are difficult -- "suck it up" is used to keep people motivated to get the job done, to not give up, to keep fighting/playing hard despite being tired or suffering from other unpleasant circumstances. _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover.
