I usually tell myself to "suck it up". Especially if it's something I know I will benefit from.

Makes me think of penis in mouth

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It does beg the question of where did that phrase come from and what exactly are we sucking up. Maybe it is a penis, I don't judge. But also, what if it's a delicious cake?

[–] Metans@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If you have to suck your cake up then it doesn't sound delicious to me, it sounds raw

So you're saying I can lick the mixer clean?

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 0 points 8 months ago

Really weird way to phrase that if talking about a penis....unless you're talking about a flaccid one which is even more weirdly specific.

[–] Oaksey@lemmy.world -2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If that is what one frequently sucks, one probably would think that.

I don't suck enough of it these days

[–] bitwaba@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Well suck it up
