The expresion "Suck it up", is an offensive one in English?

[Anonymous]

Yes, is offensive

No, is not offensive

[Razp_Sorbet]

Not always. But typically is said to someone who is upset so it's pretty rude.

A person presented me with a difficult situation and used this expression at the end to me.
In what context is it offensive and when is it not?

[Razp_Sorbet]

The only time I see it as not being offensive is when it's said jokingly.

[Quackthulu2]

It depends on the context.

Scenario A: Your boss calls you in on your scheduled day off to work a shift. You tell them that you have other plans, they clearly don’t care and just tell you to suck it up.

Scenario B: You are at the gym on the treadmill 2.5 miles down and you are feeling a stitch coming on so you start slowing down. Your friend on the machine next to you notices and tries to motivate you to hit your 3 mile goal saying that you are almost done, and should just suck it up.

See the difference?
