as noted in the comments below when one sucks air in there is a change of posture and indeed a
more erect posture is associated with the vim and vigor of preparation to do battle. hence the
notion of "up." but the action is sucking "in" so it seems natural to one's logical sense to say
"suck it in". i concede though to popular authority--the expression is "suck it up".
