As long as you have some kind of outlet (a partner, close friends, relatives) you can 'let it all out' to then it's classic.

Plus stiff upper lips are also often HAIRY upper lips so even more classic!

(bah, full english is a paltry spread compared to behemoth breakfasts enjoyed by empire top brass at height of powers)

I think it's an okay way to be.

When my upper lip reaches the flexibility of cardboard, I find that a long soaking followed by a thorough washing does wonders. In its native state, my upper lip is as supple as an orangutan's. It's the accumulation of pease porridge that does it in.

I'm this way. I haven't cried in 9 years. I have no outlet, either. Someone please help me.

NO DON'T!!!!!!

When it means staying strong and keeping cool in moments of crisis, classic. When it means not showing your feelings at all and having contempt for those who do, very dud.
