    IIRC in the books they shit their pants often, if you sit in your crash couch wrong the G forces can push on your intestines causing you to shit your pants. So pucker up might be literal.

      “pucker up” also sounds like the ordinary g straining maneuver that is trained to current fighter pilots.
