Get the cowboy upmug. The original meaning of "Cowboy Up" was to inform the next bullrider or bucking bronco rider at a rodeo to get ready to ride or "cowboy up". Now it means to stop being a pussy liberal snowflake with your safe spaces and whiny bullshit, grow up and be a man for once in your pathetic life.
Liberal snowflake type: Oh no! Trump won the election! I need to find a safe space to calm down and stop crying.
Real man type: No you need to stop being a pussy and cowboy up!
Real man type: No you need to stop being a pussy and cowboy up!
