lump it
Tolerate without complaint
To lump it is to accept something unpleasant without complaint, usually because you have no choice.
The phrase almost always appears with "like it": If you don't like it, you can lump it.
The implication is that objecting won't change anything—you'll have to put up with it regardless.
