The "Suck Em Up" shot glass and old fashioned style glass were always on display right next to the tastefully carved guy in barrel whose boner pops up when you lower the barrel. Sadly the glasses are not nearly as universal as they used to be and you never hear the bartenders urge you to Suck Em Up any more. I fear the phrase is nearing extinction. I am therefore launching my own crusade to save this phrase by using it at least once a day. I realize this may be a lonely journey that may well lead to ridicule, spell check alerts, forced exile to Siberia and possibly blacklisting by the house on unamerican activities. I will hold out as long as I can so... Suck Em Up bra!
