PHENOMENAL 2 LETTER  WORD
       
 
THIS IS SOOOOOOOO CLEVER! 
 
I'm sure you will enjoy this.  I never knew one word in  English language that can be a  noun, verb, adj, adv, prep.   
UP 
     

Read until the end ... You'll laugh.   
         

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 (if there is a tie, it 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 we close it UP at night.  We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP ! 
 
 
To be knowledgeable about the properuses 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 ( UP to) 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 a while, 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 one crack you UP ?   
 
 
Don't screw UP .. 

Now I'll shut UP !

And you had better be UP for yer lady when you sez you is!  Racers are said to be UP on the wheel. When yer on your scoot you had better keep it UP on 2 wheels. I have been told more than once-well you really effed that UP doncha know!  A hail Mary is said to be UP for grabs. Food costs continue UP. When you come out of the restroom you better be zipped UP. RIDE SAFE.

Here in MI, when we want to take a vacation, we go UP north.
When we really want to get away we go further UP north to the UP (Upper Peninsula).

Get it? 

[czuch]

That cracked me up.

If we are said to-be UP the creek without a paddle-HOW did we get UP the creek without a means of propulsion??  Curious minds and like that!  Car in the shop could be UP on the lift. Politicians are UP for election or reelection. And most need to be brought UP on charges.  Nuff fer now.  RIDE SAFE.
