Meanings of "UP."
Lovers of the English language might enjoy this......How do non-natives ever learn all the nuances of English???
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is "UP." 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 wakeUP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ?Why do we speakUP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UPour friends and we use it to brightenUPa room,polish UPthe silver, we warmUP the leftoversand cleanUPthe kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir up trouble, line UPfor tickets, workUPan appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. <FONT face="Bookman Old Style" color=black size=5><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 18pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Bookman Old Style'"> |
