Think about this one!!!
UP
Read all the way to the end.....
This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word Is 'UP.'
It is listed in the Dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?
Why do We speak UP?
And why are the Officers UP for Election?
And why is it UP to the secretary
To Write UP a Report?
We call UP our friends,
Brighten UP a room,
Polish UP the Silver,
Warm UP the leftovers,
And clean UP the kitchen.
We Lock UP the house
And Fix UP the old Car.
At other times this little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble,
Line UP for Tickets,
Work UP an appetite,
And think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be Dressed UP is Special.
And this UP is confusing:
A Drain must be Opened UP because it is Stopped UP.
We Open UP a store in the morning but we Close it UP at Night.
We seem to be pretty mixed
UP about UP
To be Knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP
Look UP the word UP in the dictionary..
In a desk-sized Dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page
And can add UP to about Thirty definitions
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP
A list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP a lot of your time,
But if you don't give UP ,
You may wind UP with a hundred or More.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is Clouding UP
When the sun comes out we say it is Clearing UP
When it rains, it Soaks UP the Earth.
When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP
One could go on & on, but I'll wrap It UP for now .....my time is UP
Oh....one more thing:
What is the first thing you Do in the morning
And the last thing you do at Night?
U
P
Did that one crack you UP?
Don't screw UP
Send this on to everyone you Look UP in your address book
..Or not...it's UP to you
Don't forget when your angry at someone it's Up Yours!!!!!
Now I'll shut UP!!!
-
You crack me UP!
-
You'r soooo messed up. :o :o :o
-
Watch it...I'll get UPitty on you!
-
I'm just not UP to it!
Rog
-
UP yours. Thats for making me read that whole thing.
-
Now Chief! With my 5 stars I outrank you and I still don't remember issuing a General Order that the message was required reading for all members.
So if you want to keep UP, just suck it UP!
-
I have to agree with Chief, I was fed UP by the time I read the entire thing, but hey Chief someday we will move UP to 5 stars, until then Bottoms UP.
-
No the highest a Chief can go is Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy and you get 3 stars.
-
Well Chief to achieve the additional rank I guess you will just have to "Re-UP!"
-
Well, I think I've had it UP to here. Dave :o
-
I just lit one UP, a cigarette that is.
-
Looks like we are all having UPS hope the DOWNS stay away. I liked it Gray, but then I love wordgames and puns.

Doesn't look like we are likely to give UP playing around with this word, wonder how long we can keep this UP.
David
-
That's UP to the GroUP!
Or until we Foul UP and wake UP the moderators and they make us Give UP!
-
I guess thats UP to Russ.
-
Well I can see nobody has giving UP yet.
-
Don't think Russ will UP and close us UP. He was here UPping too. So from the Netherlands where temps are suddnly soaring UP to 26 C. I have given Up trying to do any work for today, just started UP my pc and keeping UP on what's happening UP your way. I'll shut UP for now. See you later.
David
-
The Netherlands temps are UP that high? I guess your humidity is UP too!
Our temp got UP to 35? C yesterday!
I passed the neighbor's house yesterday and that idiot was cutting UP firewood to sell! Prices will probably be UP this fall too!
-
HOORAY!!!
I looked UP and realized it is clouding UP!
-
Yes Gray the temps are UP that high today and the forecast it Going UP to 30 C end of next week. So I think I will give UP gardening this week before I even start. I will have to open UP the shed though and hook UP the hose to water the garden so the plants can keep UP with this heat.
David
-
I better hurry UP and post to keep this thread UP.
-
In not going to keep this UP.
-
Don't give UP now!
Gotta keep it UP!
-
A man can only keep it UP for so long!
-
Maybe your Dr. can hook you UP with some Viagra!
-
If we run out of words with UP, we can simply make UP new ones, that will be a real turn UP and some might even turn UP in the next dictonary. But that's UP to how often the new UPword will be used. So come UP and think UP some new ways to use UP. :P
-
This morning when I woke UP, I thought Wonder what's UP with that UP thread GB started UP. So I decided to look it UP and see if we want to pick it Up from where we left off. Are we Up to it I wonder. So it's UP to you now.
David
-
I just don't know if I'm still UP to this anymore!
-
I'm bumping this UP!
-
Just like that recent movie, "Never Give Up!"
We just have to keep this UP until Steve can't put UP with it any longer and shuts us UP!

It's just coming UP to 4.30am and I've been UP since 4 am. Got UP because I came UP with an idea and wanted to look it UP on the net, but found myself landing UP on the forum instead. That's what happens al the time, when I start UP my pc I just seem to land UP here.
