[ragsonthenet] the great two letter word :: with many meanings

 




Think about it.

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
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 stopped 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 end UP or
wind
UP with 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 & 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 & the last thing you do at
night?

U
P !







Did that one crack you UP?


Don't screw
UP. Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address book..or not...it's UP to you.

Don't forget when your angry at someone it's UPYours!!!!!



Now
I'll shut
UP
