A sly way of calling a girl as perfect and graceful as a princess when cheering her up. An encouragement to just keep standing proud.
Girl: Ugh, literally nothing is going right today. I fell flat on my face in the audition, and my best friend is not talking to me anymore. I just feel so awful.
You: Oh that's awful! You deserve way better than that. Just Keep Your Head Up Princess, Your Tiara Is Falling

Pump her head up

To talk someone into thinking they can do something when they really cannot do it or to make someone feel special when they really are not.
Ex 1: Jamie did a round off double back handspring layout. The team then tried to pump her head up into thinking she could pull a full twisting layout, as well.

Cheer Team: Jamie, try a full!

Shaqueelah: uh-uh, ya'll don't try and pump her head up like that when you know she can't do that!
Ex 2: Jamie is running for homecoming princess for her senior year. Her peers are making it seem like they will vote for her and she will win, but they're really just pumpin' her head up.
