  1. buckup

    "buckup" was a term Texans (maybe other Southerners) used to mean "find your inner strength to deal with a problem or situation." As a child when I had difficulties with bullies or any other hard situation I heard the term used. I could see Jim Bowie or Colonel Travis at the Alamo saying to their men as they faced certain defeat and death "Buckup!"

    If I was faced with any defeat or hard challenge, a bully at school, a bad grade, etc., my mother would say, "You just got to 'buckup'." I came to know it meant "face the problem with you inner strength." It could have had masculine overtones like "face it like a man," etc. but I came to see it as a generic admonition.
