Subject: diva celeb - WTF ?? gen.
context:
" You should hang a sign around your neck that says 'Keep Out' today. All you want is your privacy, but all you'll get is people prodding and poking you for information like you're some sort of diva celeb. Guess you'll just have to suck it up."

" suck up " the thing in this context is beyond me, too,
cause that phrasing means a behavior of the kind, doesn't it ???
