PHENOMENAL 2 LETTER WORD

PHENOMENAL 2 LETTER WORD

I never knew one word in English language
that can be a noun, verb, adj, adv, prep. UP

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], 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 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 (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 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 one
crack you UP?

Now I'll shut UP!

 

Up the ante

 

Up yours?

 

"Jam" in that usage is clearly an action, therefore a verb. Up yours, clearly implies movement, so I'm leaning toward verb

 

Up to no good?

 

"UP end" to toss or mess up, to turn over....

wait...didn't we do the " in like Flynn" in another thread a while back??

 

I could IN-lighten you. It dates and relates to Errol Flynn.
No party was complete without Flynn, and he was famous for his grand entrances, such as swinging in on a chandelier, or diving from a balcony. Flynn had a standing "IN" or IN-vatation at every Hollywood party.
So if you were "in like Flynn", you could not be denied entrance anywhere.
