chin up
Don't lose heart
Chin up is an encouraging phrase urging someone to stay cheerful or brave despite difficulty, as if lifting one's head to face adversity rather than hanging it in defeat: Chin up—things will get better.
As a noun, a chin-up is an exercise in which you grip an overhead bar and pull yourself up until your chin clears it.
The hyphenated form typically refers to the exercise, while the unhyphenated phrase is the expression of encouragement.
