There is one little two-letter word in the English language that is all of an adverb, adjective, preposition, noun and a verb. I'm talking about the word "Up." For just two letters, this word carries an awful lot of meanings.
You wake UP. Then you sit UP.
At a meeting, a topic comes UP. You speak UP. Officers in an organization are often UP for election. It is UP to the secretary to write UP a report.
We call UP our friends, we brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers, and clean UP the kitchen. Then we lock UP the house so we can take the car somewhere to get it fixed UP. By the time we get to the game, the score is all tied UP.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. You can buy things for $10 and UP.
Being dressed is ordinary, but being dressed UP is something special.
And how is it we have to open UP a drain when it is stopped UP? The owners of a store open it UP in the morning but then close it UP at night. First it is clouding UP but then it is clearing UP. In a flood, I have water UP to my knees but in a drought, everything dries UP.
Well, my time is UP so I'll wrap it UP by shutting UP.
This all seems pretty mixed UP.
