I usually go with buckle up buttercup instead because when the day is looking bad, it's not likely over yet and the ride is just starting!

@sarabee1995 I've never heard it that way. It's a little nicer to say to others. But I feel like I need the stronger "suck it up" version when I'm trying to get myself to push through when things are feeling hard.

@ShadowSister That's funny. The only way I've heard it said by others is buckle up buttercup.

@sarabee1995 I first wondered if it's a regional difference. But after googling, I see they mean different things.

"Buckle up buttercup," means, "Get ready, something bad is about to happen."
"Suck it up buttercup," means, "Quit whining about what you're going through and deal with it."

@ShadowSister Sounds about right.
