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 (2 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?

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?
