This 2-letter word in English has more meanings than any other 2-letter word, and that is the word UP. It is listed in the dictionary as a noun, verb, adverb, adjective, and preposition. It is easy to understand UP meaning towards 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 officers UP for re-election..if tied, there is a toss-UP. 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 blocked UP. We open UP a store in the morning, but 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-size 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 must 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 UP to a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, 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 and 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 crack you UP? Don't screw UP, send this onto everyone you look UP in your address book..or not...it's UP to you.

Now, I'll shut UP! :lol: :mrgreen:

Yeah? Well why, when your house burns DOWN - all your stuff burns UP? Who is determining the direction of these things? I looked it UP, but had to look DOWN at the answer.

My Dr. said things were "looking up" about my legs, but I had to look down to see that things were indeed looking up. I look up to my Dr., but since he's shorter than me, I have to look down in order to look up at him. Now I have to see a Neurologist due to the intense dizziness I experienced, looking down/up/down/up to/at my Dr.

The upside to all this is that no matter how down I get, I can still sit up straight, stare down my problems and remain upbeat. That helps greatly when I get upset at how downtrodden I can become. So, what's up with you?
