When facing adversity, some individuals rise up to meet the challenge. This antonym of a more well known phrase describes much the opposite—a person who cannot handle pressure and crumples (buckles) in the face of hardship, frequently leading to their own failure.
"I would say 'when the going get tough, the tough get going', but even though she studied for weeks, when Anna went in for the final test, she totally blew it."
"I'm not surprised, it's Anna after all. When the going gets tough, she buckles like a belt."
("When the going gets tough they buckle like a belt used" when in a sentence may include pronounces, or a name instead.)

Get the platinum belt mug.A highly sycophantic, meathead-turned-pseudointellectual dickwad who listens to Joe Rogan, Lex Fridman, and/or Jordan Peterson. Possibly even started their own podcast, does Brazilian karate to compensate for their lack of personality, heavily into gym culture, tried psychadelics a couple times because they "heard about it on Rogan", either does standup comedy or is heavily into it, typically simps for Putin, forms their entire belief system and view of the world based on whatever they heard some guest on Joe Rogan say, considers themselves a free-thinker but lack the self-awareness and critical thinking skills to realize they are actually in a cult-like echo chamber much like the normies they believe they are better than. In 10-20 years, they will become a laughing stock when people look back on the 2020s, much like Valley Girls in the 1980's, or Emo Kids in the 2000's.
Kevin thinks he’s a deep thinker just because he shows up to jiu-jitsu twice a week, gets tapped out by teenagers, and listens to three-hour podcasts about ‘modern masculinity.’ Classic Brown Belt Bro delusion.
