"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 When the going gets tough they buckle like a belt mug.Before the year 2000, the "buckle end of the belt" was considered one of the worst punishments you could get from your parents for misbehaving, usually reserved for serious issues such as stealing or bullying someone.
Instead of going home and simply getting "the belt" which was a bad punishment already, the "buckle end of the belt" was considered an even worse punishment due to the buckle usually being made of metal.
It was highly regarded as the worst punishment you could receive back then. However, over the years it has been replaced with less physical punishments such as WiFi restrictions.
