'It's gonna suck no matter which way I do it'....

I had to order a part for a machine I was repairing for work.  The parts department guy helping me, and he is a good guy, said 'It's gonna suck no matter which way I do it'.  He was talking about which way he got the part to me.  But as soon as he said this, I laughed so hard and immediately told him I was going to borrow it.

I do not have enough digits on my fingers and toes where I said the same thing or at least thought it.  This reminds me when people tell you, 'Just suck it up'. What is it we are sucking up?  Have you ever physically sucked up and done something?  Don't we usually exhale, resign ourselves to do what we have to do?  I usually exhale, say 'ah shit' and then do what needs to be done.  No sucking up there.  I Googled the origin of "suck it up" and found no conclusive answer.  That didn't help.

According to Wikipedia the definition of a saying:  A saying is something that is said, notable in one respect or another, to be "a pithy expression of wisdom or truth."  I don't know about you but I hate it when someone tells me a 'pithy' saying.  It is more like a pissy saying.  If you can't say something original, then just shut the hell up.  What you are actually saying is that you are not original enough to think of something or you just aren't listening and a quick borrowed over used phrase just gets you out of the conversation.

So with no conclusive what we are to suck, how we are to suck, how long we are to suck and when will we know we can stop sucking.  Just stop telling people this shit.  It reflects poorly on you, makes you seem trite and people are just tired of them.  Just deal with it. :-)
